whosebrian Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Elon Musk Walks Back ‘Pedo Guy’ Attack on Cave Diver After Investor Pressure The tech billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday walked back his baseless claim that a British diver involved in the cave rescue efforts in Thailand was a pedophile, an accusation made after the man criticized a submarine that Mr. Musk had said he built to help with the rescue. The cave diver, Vern Unsworth, who helped with the effort to rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach, had told CNN last week that the miniature submarine, built with rocket parts, was a “P.R. stunt” and that Mr. Musk could “stick his submarine where it hurts.” That drew an angry response over the weekend from Mr. Musk, who called Mr. Unsworth a “pedo guy” in a series of angry tweets defending the vessel. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/18/business/elon-musk-vern-unsworth-pedo-guy.html?module=WatchingPortal®ion=c-column-middle-span-region&pgType=Homepage&action=click&mediaId=thumb_square&state=standard&contentPlacement=2&version=internal&contentCollection=www.nytimes.com&contentId=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2018%2F07%2F18%2Fbusiness%2Felon-musk-vern-unsworth-pedo-guy.html&eventName=Watching-article-click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 ^yup. Even his apology has a preface of 'well he started it, it's his fault!' and then doesn't just apologize to the guy, but to "Mr. Unsworth and to the companies I represent as leader." So he can't even pretend for a full fucking sentence that it's about anything other than money. Not much of an apology. The ego on that guy.

Squee Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 “As this well-written article suggests, my words were spoken in anger after Mr. Unsworth said several untruths & suggested I engage in a sexual act with the mini-sub, which had been built as an act of kindness & according to specifications from the dive team leader.” LOL He really should focus his energy on non-social-media-related stuff. Every interaction with people on twitter over the last couple of days has been so cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caze Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The Unsworth guy was being a prick in fairness, not enough to justify being called a pedo of course, but 'he started it' would have been a valid justification for a less libelous response.

Amen Warrior Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Yes. Elon Musk is a prick but electric cars are orders of magnitude better for the environment, even when the electricity is generated by fossil fuels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdamAnchorman Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) <p> speaking of Tesla.

Somewhere in WV or rural PA, it might actually be worse, although it is much easier to capture / scrub emissions from a few power plants compared to a million point sources (ICE cars). In states which use a lot of hydro, solar, wind, etc. it can be substantially better. Of course, when you take into account what to do with the heavy metals in the battery once it's dead, you open a whole other can of worms. I own an electric car (Chevy Bolt) and I absolutely love it. Didn't really buy it for the environment, just thought it was a cool, fun car to drive. Going to take it on vacation this year and test out the fast charging infrastructure along the mid-Atlantic.

I worry about this relationship steering her completely away from music though. Her breakout success lead to all this iffy second-guessing and overthinking since Visions. Ironic her best stuff was made on Garageband in a week and then she puts out a good but less interesting (IMO) album after years of fine-tuning and tweaking when she was collaborating with others and bumping shoulders with major label artists. I can't imagine what the hell Silicon Valley might do influence wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, explains it all about her really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
