So...Elon Musk is possibly the dumbest uber-smart, uber-rich guy on the planet:

Elon Musk has once again attacked a British man who helped rescue a boys' soccer team trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand, calling him a "child rapist."

In an email to BuzzFeed News, the Tesla chief executive launched a third attack on cave diver Vernon Unsworth, who called Musk's idea to rescue the trapped boys and their coach with a miniature submarine a "PR stunt."

Musk accused Unsworth in the email of being a "child rapist," in the strongest words the billionaire has had for the explorer since referring to him as a "pedo guy" in July. Last month, Musk tweeted that it was "strange" that Unsworth had not sued him for the July comments.

I hope the fvcker dries up and blows away, honestly. I'm so over him and all of his fanboys (and girls).

After all that flak from earlier, he wades into these waters again only more blatantly? ? ? ? Either Musk really knows something nefarious about this diver/rescuer guy, or Musk is imploding. This behavior is worrisome.

I think his narcissism is showing a bit. When people were uncritically lavishing praise on him, he took it all in stride. When he started getting some criticism, it seems like it started eating at him. And, frankly, a lot of the criticism he was getting earlier this year was bullshit partisan fuckery, and I don't blame him for getting miffed at that, but he should've stopped there.

When he got criticized by this guy, for whatever reason it seems to have set him off and it seems to be a narcissistic trigger for him.

Funny thing is, when he sarcastically asked why the guy hadn't sued him yet, the guy's lawyer posted on twitter the letter they'd already sent him and his attorney notifying them that they'd filed suit.

There are a couple of possibilities here.

The most obvious is that Elon Musk is a narcissistic clown. He's clearly daring Unsworth to sue him. Which seems like a stupid thing to do, even for a billionaire.

But, I confess, I am always a leeeedle suspicious of unmarried Western dudes who move to Thailand or elsewhere in SEA just because they "love the culture" or whatever. I mean, some of them have legitimate non-sketchy reasons to do that. I am not saying every white guy there is whoring or worse. But the stereotype isn't completely unfounded.

Musk alleged that Unsworth had traveled to and lived in Thailand for "30 to 40 years" and claimed — without providing evidence — that he eventually moved to Chiang Rai to find a child bride. Unsworth denied those claims, according to the news site.

So I have to wonder if Musk, with his resources, has actually acquired some evidence to back up what he's implying.

Or maybe he's just a narcissistic clown.
