"While I respect the opinions of the diver and the bravery he showed, I believe our solution would have succeeded. We plan to improve this technology so that future tragedies like these can be resolved quickly and safely."

Or, you know, say nothing at all.

What a huge dipshit. He had massive goodwill, now it's gone. Completely out of touch like most other self obsessed billionaires.

Don't do coke and tweet and also don't unravel into a wretched caricature of a person on Twitter and via campaign finance.

that makes him a moron, sorry

being smart doesn't disqualify you from being a dumbass

Elon is being a dumbass here

Making him a moron, lol.

Having zero emotional intelligence makes him a moron of sorts.

Being a moron is tantamount to having no intelligence. Musk has intelligence. He just is a selfish asshole who thinks the rules of civil society shouldn't apply to him. So yeah, I'll politely disagree that he's a moron.

But we're so far into semantics and arguing two sides of the same coin that it doesn't really matter lol. Just didn't want you all to think I was ignoring your responses. I'm not a jerk like that... Usually ;)

No. Not at all.

It shows a clear pattern of an incredibly powerful billionaire acting like a child. Do you think he's calling him a pedophile because genuinely feels/believes he's uncovering a child predator and making the world a safer place, or he's calling a man that was "mean" to him the most damning insult he could think of?

Very in character.
That's kinda of my point though. He could have called him an idiot or jackass or someone that doesn't know shit like people have pointed out he's done before but he didn't. Why would he jump to THAT? If he knows something, I hope he's taken the appropriate steps that one should by knowing that. Otherwise, this is a huge disappointment. This coming from someone that is a fan of what his companies are doing.

So when do we get an "apology" from Elon Musk where he blames stress, or medication, or something besides him being a dipshit for his tweets? I also expect said "apology" talks more about what he's done for the world and acts like everyone else is at fault for not finding his tweets appropriate.

Being respectfully magnanimous with people who happen to dislike him is just not something Musk is capable of. Even though he really should be. In fact, he just makes things as worse as he possibly can. He's like Trump that way.

There are different types of intelligence. In terms of social intelligence and emotional Elon Musk is certainly a moron.

At this point I associate Elon Musk and his Fanbase with the Rick and Morty hardcore fanbase. I'm sure that there is a big overlap between those 2

Jesus Christ this last week has been a phenomenal train wreck for Musk PR

Wow you're right, I didn't make the connection, but that is probably because I don't have a genius level IQ

User Banned (1 Week): Inflammatory generalisation.
As someone born and raised in Thailand and has encountered a loooot of sex tourists, the odds of the guy being a pedophile are pretty high. Older white men are almost always sex tourists in Thailand. I also read that he lives in Chiang Rai, which is like THE place you go if you are an underage sex tourist.

Yes I know assumptions are bad and it is not an accusation I necessarily agree with either way, but from my lived experience this would set off many flashing red lights.

It's not even just the diver that he's insulting. It's the whole country.

That depends. Can SpaceX and Tesla force him out?

If not he probably won't address it at all if he doesn't decide to double down again.

Man all the people white knighting for this piece of shit look SO STUPID right now.

KHarvey16, where are you???


I don't stick my neck out for other posters very often, but even on GAF I could almost always count on KHarvey16 to be on the right side of an argument. They might have ended up on the wrong side of this one, but they're not shills or whatever other conspiracy people have going. They're good people.
