I am definitely no fan of Zuck but on the subject of Elon Musk, this is the same guy who tried to use his high media profile to call an innocent man a pedophile just because he would follow Musk’s crazy plan.[1] So that another one off the “CEO billionaire but not a sociopath” list.

I'd suggest you find a better source than The Guardian for news about Elon Musk. They have run a relentless smear campaign against him for years now. Just one more reason to loathe that publication, in my book.

  Can I read about this somewhere? Did the Observer write about it?

    Yeah it was really widely reported, not just in the Guardian if you don't like that paper. Here's 4 other sources. There are many more on DuckDuckGo News. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2018/07/18/elon-musk-apologizes-thai-cave-rescue-diver/794873002/ https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2018/07/18/elon-mus... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-44870303 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-44870303 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/elon-musk-apologizes-blames-anger-calling-thai-cave-diver-pedo-n892296 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/elon-musk-apologizes-blam... https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/18/elon-musk-apologizes-to-british-cave-diver-followingbaseless-pedo-gu.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/18/elon-musk-apologizes-to-brit...

      Sorry, I meant the smear campaign. It doesn't sound like the Guardian.
