What Elon did was terrible, but it wasn’t “for no reason”

The dude attacked him in the media, and Elon is petty and vindictive.

Was the harshness of Elon’s response representative of the attack? Absolutely not. But it wasn’t nothing.

The guy told it like it was. It was a PR stunt and nothing more. His submarine was rigid and stood zero chance of navigating the intricate cave system, of which the caver was an expert. Elon didn’t like his sub (and him by extension) being ridiculed, so he used his social media clout to make an unsubstantiated and nigh libelous claim that the guy was a pedophile.

Whatever Elon’s retaliatory reasons are for his vindictiveness, a rational person can safely assume that those reasons are tied to his hollow soul and crêpe-paper-thin ego.

He was bullied as a child, he probably never got over it and the power has gotten to his head.

I was bullied as a child, and I now work as a math teacher in Title I schools and engage in mutual aid. What’s your point? Why are you making excuses for that cunt?

Yeah see there is a thing called disproportionate response.

If you’ve got a guy with 100 million followers talking shit about someone else and making wild accusations against them against another person who has practically no following at all, then the response is far too powerful for the issue at hand.

It was 100% a disproportionate response, I wasn’t saying otherwise.
