British diver may sue Musk for calling him "pedo"
13 Sept 12:20Key points summarised by AI
British caver Vernon Unsworth, involved in the Thai cave rescue, is considering legal action against Elon Musk after Musk called him a "pedo" on Twitter.
The controversy began when Unsworth criticized Musk's offer of a miniature submarine for the rescue as a "PR stunt," deeming it impractical for the cave's narrow, twisted passages.
Unsworth stated that Musk's submarine wouldn't have made it far into the cave and that Musk was asked to leave the rescue site during his visit.
Unsworth plans to make a final decision on legal action upon his return to Britain, indicating the dispute with Musk is far from over.
