Ugh, Elon Musk attacks British diver who called his submarine 'just a PR stunt'

After Vern Unsworth, a British diver who helped rescue the trapped Thai soccer team, called Elon Musk's attempt at a submarine rescue (https://mashable.com/2018/07/14/thailand-cave-rescue-diver-says-elon-musk-submarine-pr-stunt/) "just a PR stunt" that had 'absolutely no chance of working," Musk has chosen to be angry online.*
Surprise!
In a series of tweets Sunday morning, Musk referred to Unsworth as a "pedo," requested video of the cave rescue, retracted that request, then promised proof that his submarine could have, in fact, performed the rescue.

It's a lot.
Never saw this British expat guy who lives in Thailand (sus) at any point when we were in the caves. Only people in sight were the Thai navy/army guys, who were great. Thai navy seals escorted us in — total opposite of wanting us to leave.
