Elon Musk calls British diver who rescued Thai boys from the cave a “pedo”
This comes after diver Vern Unsworth said Musk’s kid-size submarine was a “PR stunt”.

Petty move there Musk?After gaining a lot of attention and praise for dedicating his time and resources to build the kid-size submarine to rescue the boys from the Thai cave, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has ruined most of it by a recent unsolicited comment.This Sunday, Musk attacked British diver Vern Unsworth, who rescued the Thai boys, with an unfounded comment.His comment has since given rise to an outrage on social media and otherwise.To this comment, Unsworth has now responded, saying that “he can’t put in words how he feels about the guy”, according to 7NewsSydney. Reportedly the diver hasn’t ruled out the possibility of a legal action yet.This incident was fueled after Unsworth told CNN in an interview that Musk's mini-submarine was useless, and was nothing more than a grab for attention. He said that “it was a PR stunt and had no chance of working.”Unsworth is a British cave explorer, who was part of a large international team of specialist divers, who successfully rescued the boys from the cave using stretchers and pulleys.
