Elon Musk calls British diver who helped rescue Thai kids a PEDO after receiving criticism

They'd have to spin it bigger than how the universe destroys and recreates itself
Nah Luthor is way better at PR, he is more like Norman Osborn.
The smack talk and bravado I could accept because he was making waves. But this....this is something else. Consider me out
"People questioned how I would power my Musk Machines but I have the answer. BIOMASS!"
There are more heroes out there than you can shake a stick at. Just with the Thai kids cave rescue alone there were tons of heroes quietly doing their jobs risking their lives, and one who gave his, to save these kids. Every day around the world people are doing this.
The problem we seem to have here is that we're starting to make being a visible millionaire or billionaire a box a hero needs to check now which makes no fucking sense.
And again, this is less a gripe about Musk and more about our society as a whole. It was already annoying when you needed to be an athlete or rockstar to be a hero but at least in those cases you weren't literally rising to the top by fucking stepping on people, to amass the kind of money that someone like Musk has you've gotta decide that your work is more important than those who work with and for you, that not only do you deserve to bring home exponentially more money than Karen from HR but also that the money can only be spent well by you. Which is a product of our system for sure. At least most rich people are content to make their money behind the scenes and rarely poke their heads out so they don't have these ridiculous defense forces based on their personalities out there. Just imagine a fucking Walton defense force trying to explain how Wal-Mart's fighting poverty by being one of the largest employers in the country and the mental gymnastics they'd have to perform to explain why it was necessary that the tax payers and other big businesses needed to subsidize their workers with welfare so that they could continue amassing more money to fight the good fight, it'd be fun that's for sure. But as much as I'd like to say these billionaires have a mental problem, and they do, the bigger problem is that so many of us want to worship this shit, we're literally looking for this impossible mix of a ridiculous wealthy person who's also a fucking hero which is an oxymoron.
To add to this.
It's all attention seeking for Musk, and doing the littlest possible for endless praise.
I remember when "rational" meant actually being rational and wasn't a shorthanded codeword for "asshole".
...Have a lot of respect for what Musk has accomplished and is trying to do. But this man is wearing his full ass on his head right now.
Damn, seeing things put together like this - the deflections, the name calling and dismissiveness, inserting himself into situations that were not about him to begin with - these are straight out of the Trump/Narcissism 101 text books.
Did the usual suspects on this forum come out to stan for calling people pedo on the internet yet?
I literally said Holy Fucking Shit reading the thread's title. What a massive arsehole he is, goddamn.
It was only a matter of time.
People like Musk turn into "Rosanne's" once their PR stunts expose who they really are.

Note, the Board of Tesla, comprising nine Directors, includes Musk himself as Chair, as well as Kimball Musk, his brother.
It also includes the former CFO of SolarCity, as an Independent Director, and an early PayPal investor that Musk has extensive ties to, as an Independent Director.
And somewhat inexplicably, James Murdoch, who has no experience in anything of particular relevance to the company as far as any one can tell.
Also, Steve Jurvetson, seems to be on a permanent leave of absence after he was removed from his VC firm for alleged sexual misconduct, but apparently remains on the Board.
This is the only public comment I've seen from a major institutional investor in Tesla.
I don't really expect anything to come of it though.
Musk is inextricably linked to the company,
It has that reputation for child sex tourism, but for someone to insinuate taht the only reason a foreigner would live in Thailand is for that is pretty disgusting and bananas insulting to the country as well as the person.
I will not have you insinuate that billionaire CEOs do fuck all but lazily wave their hands all day in a hotel room whilst intellectually stagnating and pontificating upon things they know fuck all about.

But clearly Bezos is more sinister, there can only be some sort of nefarious explanation for this:
