Tesla CEO Musk attacks British diver

20 Sept 03:20 Key points summarised by AI

Elon Musk launched a bizarre online attack, calling British cave diver Vern Unsworth a "pedo" after Unsworth criticized Musk's mini-submarine offer for the Thai cave rescue.
Unsworth, a key figure in the "Wild Boars" team rescue, publicly dismissed Musk's mini-sub idea as a "PR stunt" and impractical for the cave's conditions.
Musk's offer to assist with a mini-submarine had been politely declined by Thai rescue officials, who deemed it unsuitable for the operation.
The Tesla CEO later deleted his controversial tweets following widespread condemnation from Twitter users who called his allegations "outrageous" and "unhinged."

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
