Yeah, calling someone a pedophile is a serious matter, especially considering the status of Musk, and considering that he has millions of followers including radical ones.
Thai Cave kids | All 12 boys and coach rescued from cave | visiting United

I think there will be plenty of good lawyers who would get interested on this for free (or to get some % in case they win the lawsuit).
Strange how that Irish article leaves out the paedophile references at every turn, referring to them as "twitter insults". Unsworth said it more plainly apparently.

Such a weird, childish insult for a supposedly very intelligent man to throw around. Doubling down on it was even more bizarre.
I'm more concerned that the Thai government probably has more interest in what Musk or his companies can offer them in the future, rather than an individual ex-pat. I may be being too cynical, but we aren't actually talking about an open democracy with a high respect for individual rights.
I'd say there is a few legal practices only willing to take on that fight at no cost and take a percentage of penalties.
While I kept up with this on the news and on twitter over the past couple of weeks, I’m only getting a chance to go through this tread now. It’s rare I’d find a thread 20 odd pages on here and read every single post. Such is the scale of this whole story.
Firstly from hearing about 12 boys and their coach missing in a cave which was now flooded after monsoon rains. I doubt I’m the only one who thought their chance of survival was close to zero. Then, 9 days later, to all be found was an amazing story in itself, to talk of being down there for months and then to the incredible rescue effort. It really is a story that gives you great hope in humanity. The rescuers are an incredible group of people, the boys, and their coach equally incredible to survive such an ordeal. 9 days in darkness must have felt like an absolute eternity.
I found Elon Musk getting involved quite funny and even gave him credit for at least trying to help, even though his submarine seemed completely useless given the situation. But still, I thought, it was good of him to try. Those tweets though are astonishing. What an absolute cretin. It’s such a pity that he’s become the focus of this incredible story.
Anyway, I hope the boys’ status is sorted out. While the idea that anyone in the area is stateless is horrible, these 12 boys have been through enough. I can’t imagine how much they have ahead of them in terms of both their physical and mental recovery.

Is Musk calling him a pedo because he moved to Thailand or something?
The model X is one of the worst cars build this decade. The doors are the worst part of it actually.
It doesn't help that the people actually building Teslas are overworked and having to walk in raw sewage in the factory.

So he called the British guy a paedophile only because he lives in Thailand and disagreed with his idea? Wow.

More good news for the boys

The kids visiting United
The kids are in Manchester! Good on the club to follow through on their promise to bring them over.
That's great to see.
I bet some of them could improve your team.
And mine..
And mine..
Excellent, good job Utd
Harsh on the Thai kids, unlike Lukaku some of them are adept at getting out of tight spaces.
Don't think it's a great idea, they've suffered enough
The last thing these kids should do is mine
They dive too much for the EPL anyway.
Hopefully they're a good luck charm for us today, great job by the club.
That's fantastic from the club. Love to see the kids smiling.
fecking hell
Just heard tonight that Thai government are in the process of rescuing twelve young boys from a cave. Again.
That makes no sense. In what way is a cave an analogy for united? Hmm?
These are some lucky kids! The chances of seeing a good game of football were slim. Keep inviting them.
After what they have been through, even a United loss would have been a win for them.
They got to meet Cantona too!

Apparently the kids weren't mildly sedated, they were knocked out completely and were handcuffed.

What we all thought initially tbh, no doubt some people would still be enraged at the time for the lack of agency, but what were they supposed to do?
Makes sense
Man, this rescue operation will be talked about for decades. Just amazing human cooperation.
