capable != required If he seriously proposes to help and is told to stick it where he hurts, he can choose whether or not to respond with 'tact and self control' but he isn't required to. The diver is the one without tact and self control, but you slag elon for responding in kind instead of the diver. You expect more from musk but musk owes you nothing - not even tact. He doesn't have to accept abuse from someone else out of fear of losing your good opinion. It literally doesn't matter to him at all.

If someone is derailing an important rescue, by making useless suggestions to please his own ego, what in your view is the appropriate response. What in your opinion should we say to spectators at accidents you hinder the rescue workers, by e.g.stanfing next to them and giving advice?

  The question is the tone - this person was rude first, and got a rude reply, and the fixation is on the rude reply rather than the one that set the tone. The tangent about 'hindering rescue workers' has nothing to do with reality. they were exchanging messages on twitter - it's nonsense to equate that to anything like you are.

Musk is still a dick for the comment. He was butt hurt, because his stoner idea of a tiny submarine was met with the "umm, WTF" that it should by actual people saving the kids lives.

  I don't disagree but he wasn't a dick in a vacuum - someone was a dick to him, he was a dick back. Your expectations that musk should just take it on the chin without responding in kind are your expectations and honestly nothing to do with musk. This guy was rude to him, he was rude back, you're disappointed in musk, musk doesn't care, you're still fixated on the response rather than what set the tone - the original rude message. I don't see why musk should care about being nice to someone who started off being rude.

    Yes, that was his excuse, "back home calling someone a pedo was just a normal insult", but Musk did a bit more than "was rude back". Hiring a PI to dig up dirt? Sending further lies about the guy to media?

      its why I don't start fights with billionaires who can afford to look into you without effort. I wouldn't do it, but once it became a thing I'm 100% every billionaire has a firm who looks into people who start fights with them.
