Unsworth was pissed because Musk's cave mini-sub white knight PR stunt was a huge, impractical distraction thrust on him at a time when speed and decisive action were of the essence. He used some choice words with an interviewer and, more to the point, never made baseless claims about Musk's background to a Twitter following of millions. To compare the two is just absurd.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoThat’s a really bad excuse, and probably not true. If he didn’t want to be distracted, he could have simply not looked at twitter. Musk’s offer was obviously sincere, and if Unsworth found it unhelpful, the adult response is to politely decline. If you instead go to the media and pick a fight by using inflammatory claims and insults, you should not be surprised if someone hits back harder. To then go crying to the courts about defamation over a fight you started is just being an opportunistic weasel.
- AndrewBissell 7y agoDude, Musk actually showed up in Thailand and was leaning on local officials to insert himself into the rescue planning. Unsworth did not find out about him from Twitter.
