Because the rescue worker rightly said it was a waste of valuable time, of which there was little left, to try Musk's sub idea.

Nah, because the rescue worker said he could shove his sub where the sun don't shine. Note that the chief of the rescue operation did ask Musk to continue working on the sub.

  Thanks for adding some more detail. You are saying the diver who was in the middle of risking his life to save children was an asshole that deserved to be called a pedophile by the richest may on earth. I haven't learned anything new about the diver or Musk, but I know something about you now.

    > You are saying the diver who was in the middle of risking his life to save children was an asshole that deserved to be called a pedophile by the richest may on earth. Um. Did you read a different comment to mine or do you simply bucket comments into "pro" and "anti" and assign meaning based on that rather than their actual content? I never said he was an asshole. I never said he deserved to be called a pedophile. He certainly didn't in fact. As a side note, the diver called a pedophile was not actually any of the ones going into the cave and thus was not risking his life (he knew the cave and gave advice to those who did go in). So I guess you DO get to learn something new.

      I'm not a robot so I understand what someone is saying without them having to spell it out for me. Be brave and own your words and if you can't then think about why that might be. We both know Musk was in the wrong in that episode, that'd you'd pop up and choose to defend him on THAT speaks volumes. Musk even apologized to the guy for fucks sake.

        To help diffuse the tribal part of one's brain: yep, Musk should not have called him a pedophile or kept claiming it so. Now: > I'm not a robot so I understand what someone is saying without them having to spell it out for me Ah, I see. You're one of those people who tries to look at "what motivated this person to say this?" rather than looking at what they actually said, right? Someone more concerned with what "side" someone is on/pushing than on actually transmitting an accurate model of reality? So if I said something like "the Ghost of Kiev is just a fairy tale" you would assume I'm pro-Russian invasion of Ukraine and if I say "climate change is very unlikely to cause human extinction this century" you'd assume I'm a climate change denier? I think the thing you're missing is that people are different. While a lot of the people you interact with are, indeed, like this, some will be more like this: https://xkcd.com/386/ https://xkcd.com/386/ And if you don't understand that other types of people exist you're going to expose yourself to needless conflict. :/
