FWIW, the NYT also had an excellent feature focused on the technicalities of the rescue. Lots of great graphics too: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/12/world/asia/thailand-cave-rescue-seals.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/12/world/asia/thailand-cave-...</a>
This was definitely great news for Thailand. Especially after the capsized boat last week where 60+ people died.<p><a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-thailand-accident-boat/thais-fear-no-chance-of-more-survivors-from-tourist-boat-nearly-60-may-be-dead-idUSKBN1JW0CK" rel="nofollow">https://www.reuters.com/article/us-thailand-accident-boat/th...</a>
I cannot believe that Elon Musk has accused Vern Unsworth, one of the British rescue divers, of being a pedophile on Twitter, all because his idea of using a mini-submarine to rescue the boys was rejected[1].<p>It's absolutely disgusting behaviour on his part and completely uncalled for. It's one thing to professionally disagree with the best method for rescue (although Elon is not a cave rescue expert by any measure), but it's another to libel a man and accuse him of being a pedophile.<p>He's lost any goodwill he gained from offering to help. In my mind, he's lost all good will. You can't just go around accusing people of being pedophiles because they live in Thailand. He's as bad as Donald Trump accusing Joe Scarborough of murdering his constituent-services director.<p>[1] <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/15/elon-musk-tweets-hell-bet-ya-a-signed-dollar-that-thai-cave-rescuer-is-a-pedo/" rel="nofollow">https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/15/elon-musk-tweets-hell-bet-...</a>
