Musk Under Fire After Sending Submarine | El Medio Bluffs

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, is being accused of staging a “PR stunt” after sending a small, child-sized submarine to Thailand in hopes of rescuing a children’s soccer team that became trapped.

The submarine, which was tested in Palisades Charter High School’s pool, was not used in the rescue and was criticized by one of the rescue divers who said it was “never going to work.”

On Twitter, Musk lashed out to the diver by calling him a pedophile. No evidence was given to support his claim.
