Why do CEOs feel they HAVE to step into politics? Just build your cars, your iPhones and sell books. There's enough punditry. I really don't need to know what Elon thinks about cave rescues.
He was trying to help...because he was asked to help....read up!
He was helping calling a rescuer a pedo because he said the silly sub was useless for this rescue. Musk was seeking attention and got called out on it too
We live in the day and age where even when you try to help, you get mocked... sad, very sad. I'd be mad too if I was Musk. Someone tweeted if he would help them and soon after hired a team to help come up with something. Musk isn't a cave diver with decades of experience, so why did the diver expect Musk to know as much information as him given this information in addition to Musk being thousands of miles away from the actual site. Whether it was for publicity or not, I don't care, Musk spent money and tried to help and brought more awareness to the situation there, while the rest of us sat on our butts criticizing.

Exactly right.
He even shared his email communication with the 'real' lead diver where it clearly shows he was asked repeatedly to help....even when Elon suggested they let hi. Know if they think there got it covered and dont need his help.
Btw, Teslas "odds" are far greater than 50/50 imho. I wouldn't have >225k of my money in there if I didnt think so. Their numbers growing exponentially, quality increasing dramatically, and if you're long, like I am, the future is bright.

You would get mad and publicly call someone a pedo? Or maybe you wouldn’t if you were CEO of such are large company or two. The submersible was useless and Musk was as is often the case looking for attention on social media. He can get mad but he should be adult enough to keep the BS of twitter and focus on his businesses

The problem is, Musk was tweeting about it constantly even though he had little involvement with the actual rescue. His tweets then attracted the media and turned the narrative into Elon Musk is trying to save the children, when the real people risking their lives barely got a mention. Without looking it up, what is the name of the Thai Navy SEAL that died trying to help with the rescue? Nobody focused on him giving his life, and Elon certainly didn't mention it in his tweets. It's no wonder that Vernon Unsworth and others were upset with Elon basically taking the limelight when he had very little to do with the rescue.
Elon needs to stay off social media and focus on the business. He was getting in a fight the other day with someone else on Twitter. The Tesla board is too weak to reign him in. He needs to grow up and focus on the goal.

Uhhh....Vernon Unsworth wasnt "risking his life" either....in fact, he wasnt even part of the team that dove to save the kids....so he (along with many others) should just sthu

No, he was just the guy that had enough knowledge of the cave system from years of diving that he was able to help pinpoint their location and convinced the Thai government to use British cave divers that eventually found the boys.
