> telling his millions of followers that a rescue worker was a pedophile

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.

Musk offered money and the services of his crack engineering team. Now, he probably went about it the wrong way, but dismissing it as a looky lou is a bit unfair.

Musk has also done dumb PR things like provide free Starlink service to people cut off after the hurricane.

> rescue worker

There were 100 divers in total 10,000 various workers. There were no heroes there.

Lol

hurr durr heroism is when a singular person saves the day hurr durr

Disneyfication is perhaps the greatest cognitive crime committed against our species.
