Reminder that Musk once wrote an email to buzzfeed stating "“I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you fucking asshole", about Vernon Unsworth, the man who saved 12 children from dying in the Tham Luang cave. He had no proof and went on to accuse him of not even being a diver.

There's no way he comes out of this not looking like a petty, power-mad, knowingly-lying psychopath.
