Yikes Musk is quickly burning through a lot of public good will. For me it started with trashing Dr. Fauci a week or two ago which was really dumb for a supposedly smart person. And now these mainstream journalists. As the marketing face of Tesla Musk is doing a lot of damage. No wonder he had to sell TSLA shares today as they were tanking.

For me it was calling rescuers in the Thailand cave pedos.

Seriously, I recommend anyone interested in a heartwarming story to read the Wikipedia page on the Thailand cave rescue. Countries all over the world sent teams of experts to save those boys. Hundreds of people helped out.

It just shows how most people in the world are good, but at the same time how the media focuses its coverage on a small, sad little man tweeting from his private jet. Or at least that was my impression.

To be clear: He called one person "pedo guy". That person had been insulting his / SpaceX's attempt to help.

There's plenty to criticize Musk about, but this is clearly a case of "can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen". Don't get into a flame war and cry to the legal system when the other guy is better at it than you. The dude deserves no sympathy.

The worlds richest toddler wants to make everything about him, distracts everyone with a poorly engineered hard case vessel in a cave that the divers had 0 visibility in, had to take tanks off to push through narrow passageways, and on top of it he lashes out with a personal insult. I don’t know what the “insult” was, but it was a terrible design, and a self-proclaimed engineer/inventor genius should have either seen its limitations from miles away or should have been self-aware enough to shut up and learn more about the problem before creating a media circus out of a fragile life-or-death situation.
