He didn’t directly call Elon stupid. He said that a certain behavior is so stupid it indicates someone shouldn’t be at a tech company. The next step is causal inference. I’m sure Elon is familiar with the nuances of slander laws after he baselessly accused a hero rescue worker of a terrible crime and then hid behind his lawyers.

Funny how people remember this.

Hero rescue worker he was not. He just was one of the hundreds divers in the area, while total 10,000 people were involved ("The rescue effort involved as many as 10,000 people, including more than 100 divers, scores of rescue workers, representatives from about 100 governmental agencies, 900 police officers and 2,000 soldiers." [0]). There were teams from 11 countries, Musk included.

No one was asked out as per his made-up story during interview. Essentially he was slandering Musk...

It doesn't makes him less a hero rescuer if many others were still involved, in fact, every diver who volunteered on the rescue effort is a hero on my book.

> There were teams from 11 countries, Musk included.

What did Musk help exactly, other than coming up with an impractical solution, then calling the hero rescuer a "pedo guy" after getting his big ego bruised?


What did remaining 10k people help exactly?

Ego's has been bruised for sure. Fact is pedo guy started this first, got called out, tried to sue and lost.
