Yeah this fits with my opinion of Musk. It's his job to generate publicity and hype for his brand, and as far as I can tell, it's the only thing he's really good at. He's really starting to show people how stupid/crazy/full of crap he is though.
As for the interview, the diver could have just shrugged off the question about him but I don't really blame him, tbh. Anyone that's been in a serious situation like this can tell you, it's distracting, and at times dangerous, to have people proposing alternative non-solutions and amateur opinions when they're not needed. If the wrong people listen to them, you can waste a lot of time that you don't necessarily have.
Why didn't he just sue him like he sues everybody else?
First Trump and now Elon, what is with you Europeans and our billionaires?

No i am buying it because he is a fucking smart dude with a lot of resources. And he seems like a very vindictive ahole who would run a full background on you if you fuck with him.
Not so sure the courts are as good over there as they are in the US...but then again Richard Simmons proved he was not having a sex change after several publications said he was or already had operation....and still lost his suit....and had to pay court/lawyer fees.
So they might exists but good fucking luck
oh and on top of that the dude made some statements of defamation that turned out not to be true either......which could harm him financially so i imagine a counter suit would be filed
Doesn't the guy on the right side look like someone who would call you a pedo on the internet?
Just because Elon Musk is a billionaire doesn't mean he need to behave. His persona was built by internet.
I do sometimes like his attitude. I mean, he is us on steroids.
He's a jackass who doesn't amount to anything. He's a fraud. Tesla is a joke that is a gigantic financial failure. And what problem do electric cars solve? Where do you get the electricity to drive them from? Coal plants. Yeah, truly a good solution for the planet.
He is a master in PR, that's for sure. But none of his projects are a succes. People just hope them to be and don't want to see the obvious failure that's incoming.
Hm, Calling someone a pedo with no proof? After they called your sub useless?
Grounds for civil lawsuits
This is probably the best way to describe him. He isn't Tesla, he's Edison or Westinghouse. He has truly invented with one partner, one thing. The code for paypal. Otherwise he's done mostly excellent hiring and run a great business with grand goals and doesn't accept failure. He does a good job of learning the material for his goals, but he isn't the engineer making these things work or creating the blueprints.
I like what Musk does and his ambition and his desire to do some good. But he isn't some great inventor. He's an idea guy willing to dump resources into far flung ideas and hire some great talent. He is incredibly smart, but again Eidson/Westinghouse not Tesla.
Lets just ignore Thailand's diving industry.

So you believe him purely because he is Musk? Hey, you're doing a good job as to enforcing why libel laws exist, its because people like you believe it when celebs, with no evidence, accuse people of paedophilia.

You mean his criticism lol? How is that libel? Is Musk's boot really this tasty?

With no apology i would doubt that. More like his PR team saw what he did.

You have a very different interpretation of those mails than everybody else then.

Also I am not saying the guy is a pedo, I was explaining to the guy who questioned Musk's emphasis on it about the stereotype of white guys going to Thailand.
Well that summs up everything I thought about musk so far, I can't wait for the next expulsion of hot air.
