It wasn’t funny to call a guy trying to rescue trapped children a “pedo”. That was very public bullying. He says a lot of stupid and hostile stuff. I’m surprised people found his public persona incongruent with the reports of abuse.

That guy first told Elon to stick his small submarine up his own ass, so maybe he shouldn't have told "a guy trying to rescue trapped children" to sodomize himself with a very large object?
That submarine really was a bad design and a distraction from the rescue effort. He swooped in knowing zero about cave diving and produced something that only worked in a pool demo. He could have instead offered to help, quietly behind the scenes, and asked the team if could be of assistance, but he went internet-celebrity mode and splashed all his showerthoughts in real time all over twitter. That was attention-whoring behavior.
And Elon could have avoided the whole thing in the first place and not put himself in a position where some guy in Thailand was telling him to cram a submarine up his ass and the news media was taking notice of it.
Elon wasn’t helping anyone, he was clamoring for attention. He then made viscous and immature smears against someone actually helping. It’s incredible that someone would defend Musk on this.
What do you mean? He called a person a pedo in public.
