I am not going to stand up to Elon Musk or what he said. But, the response generated by Elon Musk was after the British rescue diver said this
> “He can stick his submarine where it hurts,” he told CNN. “It had absolutely no chance of working. He had no conception of what the cave passage was like.
Somehow, this part gets left out from this discussion.
Unlike Musk, they were asked to help by officials in charge because they were the best at what they do. What they had just achieved was an unbelievable feat rescuing those boys.
The place was already a media circus but Elon decided to involve himself anyway and complicate the situation because he read about it in the news?
So when the actual heroes of the story are asked questions about the annoying tech billionaire who wanted to try out one of his 'new toys' in such a high pressure situation, they didn't mince words. It was a stupid idea, and he said as much.
Apparently this hero (and I mean HERO, not some cliche) was supposed to be more diplomatic to the sensitive self serving tech billionaire who injected himself into the story, did nothing but promote his own image and then slandered the actual people who performed the rescue.
More acceptable than the absence of such a statement. It makes Elon’s pedo comment look like immature reactionary school yard banter. Somebody said something mean to me so I’m going to say something mean back.
I specifically wrote in my comment "I am not going to stand up to Elon Musk or what he said." How did you come to the conclusion that I found it acceptable?
