In 2018 a bunch of boys got trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand. It was a big story on Twitter, as people tried to figure out how to save those boys. Elon Musk weighed in that he had ordered SpaceX to repurpose a rocket into a boy-saving device that would traverse through the narrow tunnels, pick up a boy, and return to safety.
A British cave explorer said that nah, that’s not gonna work Elon - I’m gonna dive into the cave with extra oxygen and get the boys out. Elon got livid and called the cave explorer “Pedo guy” on account of him being British, into cave exploration, and living in Thailand. Cave explorer then proceeded to save the boys, and Elon was mad that he didn’t get to send space rockets into a narrow cave passage.
Wait, I don’t think think I heard about this one, what happened?

Oh my God. I’d heard the first part of this story, but not the second. Elon Musk really finds a new low every time I turn around.
