Also: """In emails to Buzzfeed News in September 2018, Musk also called him a "child rapist" and accused him of moving to Chiang Rai for a "child bride who was about 12 years old." He added that he "f---ing hope[d]" Unsworth would sue him. """
The person we're talking about (Unsworth) was the known expert on that cave, who was handling an emergency situation. Elon inserted himself in this situation unnecessarily and when he was rebuffed, resorted to some very serious things to say and took unwise actions (https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-convicted-felon-in...)
Please provide a source. The only person ever comment about it as far as I know was not one of the main divers involved, it was a British guy who was accidentally there and was losely associated consultant and by the tone of his comments, he seem to be mainly angry that Musk go media attention.
The SpaceX engineers develop the sub in coordination with the diving team for one specific contingency case and were happy when the sub didn't have to be used.
Then after that one of the consultants who apparently doesn't like Musk started giving interviews and because the media didn't really have anything to report about the actual rescue they played up the drama and tried to find anybody willing to comment.
So I guess we are angry here that SpaceX invested a fair amount of resource to try something that could potentially help.
The comment by Musk was clearly stupid, but beyond that I don't really see what is wrong with what Musk/SpaceX did. The best case one can make is that 'it took attention away from what important' ok, but that's not really in their control.
I never forget that people like yourself continue to bring up the nonsense. He tried to help save the kids for goodness's sake. All he gets is ridicule for trying to help. You people are insufferable.
Did no one ever teach you "don't look a gift horse in the mouth"?
He tried, very loudly, to take over. He had absolutely no relevant knowledge or experience. He came in with a ridiculous solution that would kill everyone involved and refused to back off. When called on it, he responded with slander and harassment. With friends like this, who needs enemies?
For the record, I agree that he doesn't deserve ridicule. He deserves 50 years in prison. But that's for the FSD scam, not for the "pedo guy" incident.
That is completley ahistorical.
> He had absolutely no relevant knowledge or experience. He came in with a ridiculous solution that would kill everyone involved and refused to back off.
He was requested, by the divers, to assist in any way possible. He was never asked to "back off". And what makes you think his team had no relevant knowledge or experience? You think being able to dive is that rare of a skill?
> He deserves 50 years in prison.
Good lord. It's people like you are why progress forward freezes.
