The turning point for me is when that incident occurred with the boys stuck in the flooded cave in Thailand. Musk had his designers create a mini-submarine to rescue them... but it wasn't suitable. One of the cave divers who risked his life to rescue the boys made the mistake of saying Musk's sub was useless... so Musk called the diver "a pedo."
I have no idea how he got away with it, but Musk claimed that when he said "pedo" he didn't mean to suggest the diver was a pedophile. It was just a South African general insult without any connotation of pedophilia, he claimed. Since then, whenever I can, I describe Musk as a well-known pedo. Sue me.
