‘Strange he hasn’t sued me’: Elon Musk reignites storm over ‘pedo’ claims against UK cave diver
Musk was responding to another critic on Twitter on Tuesday night when he appeared to reaffirm the accusation’
Elon Musk appears to have doubled down on his claim that a British cave diver who was instrumental in freeing a group of Thai boys trapped in a cave is a “pedo”.
The Tesla CEO was widely criticised last month for making the unfounded allegation against Vernon Unsworth, who was part of an international team that freed the young footballers and their adult coach from the Tham Luang cave complex in northern Thailand.
Unsworth had criticised a mini-submarine that Musk had delivered for the rescue as impractical and said he could “stick [it] where it hurts”. Musk responded by calling Unsworth a “pedo guy”, later tweeting: “Bet ya a signed dollar it’s true.” He deleted both tweets soon after.
He has never presented any evidence for the allegation nor claimed to have any.
