Speaking of weird takes. The rescuers first response wasn't "stick it up your ass", it was that they had a workable solution, the team to execute it and the last thing necessary was an even bigger media circus. Elon pouted and whined that he wasn't being taken seriously, and -then- that quote came out. That quote from, by the way, someone who was actually in the middle of coordinating the rescue, being harangued by reporters as to why they weren't indulging Musk's spur-of-the-moment idea that wasn't even remotely feasible (Musk hadn't even considered the cave geometry). I find it borderline offensive that you equate someone under stress saying "stick it up his ass" as "toxic attitude" that is on the same level as going to the media and saying "I have evidence that this person is a pedophile" (Oh, not to mention the fact that Musk then fucking HIRED a PI to try to gather evidence for when he was called on his bullshit). "Stick it up your ass" and "I have evidence that you are a pedophile" are not "reflections of the same". "Stick it up your ass" won't ruin anybody's life. Being falsely accused of pedophilia can, has, and does ruin lives. I think it takes a clear bias to even conflate the two in some attempt to defend Musk and make the cave diver the bad guy.
