Only after the rescue worker, on live TV, said to millions that Musk could stick his submarine up his ass.

Not even on the same level, dude. Not even close.
He has billions of dollars and still can’t help but stoop to pathetic immaturity.
It was an intemperate comment, sure. As was the rescue worker's insult when Musk was trying to help.
Front line rescue workers and first responders are famously required to be polite to looky lou's wanting to make tragic events all about themselves and their dumb PR stunts.

"Bet ya a signed dollar it's true." - Musk's follow-up
It went so, so far beyond a schoolyard taunt. All of my friends and I remember the debacle clearly, and it's the moment we all went from childhood idolizers of Musk to feeling pretty sick about the dude.
Months after he apologized for the initial false "pedo" claim, Musk claimed in an email to Buzzfeed that Unsworth (the rescue diver) was "a child rapist" who "moved to Chiang Rai for a child bride who was 12 years old at the time."
Musk hired a private investigator to confirm the pedophile allegations (which failed, of course).
Try again kiddo. Absolutely pathetic. Defending this shit is a moral failure for you too.

> Musk has said it was a common insult among schoolboys in S Africa.
Consider that maybe "derogatory things wealthy white South Africans say about people in the apartheid era" is not a great standard to live up to.
