This. Social media has become the opinion plague of the 21st century.
It seems like obvious jest to me, given that Musk isn't the one threatening legal action here.
Have my vote mate.

The Papa John's Pizza BoD would like a word with you.
Now that is interesting.
In a pub over a beer, you say? I doubt anybody would bat an eye, more like punch one.
Whether this is a PR stunt or a reflection of his ego, this guy has gone down in my eyes.
So far only SpaceX, Paypal & Tesla have succeded. His other bussineses or projects are mostly stuck in CGI animations and very small prototypes.

My guess is that they were migrants there, I saw some canadians there while I went to Bangkok in my vacations so it's not that odd.
Yawn is my reaction to stuff like that.
I prefer to waste my time playing video games than reading exaggerated comment about meaningless social media banter from people with exaggerated egos
That's why I mostly use the forums as social media.
Go to mars.... and stay there.
Impossible, it's just a publicity

Anyone who takes that fantasy archetype seriously is a fool. No one with anywhere near that much money acquired it without victimizing a legion of people along the way, or inheriting it from someone else who did.
Sometimes, after they've had their fun and fame, they reinvest it in positive ways. Progress is still progress, and I can't say whether or not the ends justify the means, but in any case it doesn't undo what had to be done to get there.
Plenty of in-game tributes to plenty of other equally flawed people (which is most of us).
I wouldn't bat an eye, but I would mentally note the commenter as a presumptuous bigot, or at least someone who has too loose a tongue after a few drinks.
Of course, this wasn't in a pub, this was in text, immortalized for all to see, by someone who should know better.
We shall always have Dean Kamen as faux Tony Stark.
I dont know which pubs you frequent, but over here casually calling someone a pedo is likely to get your face smashed in. And deservedly so...

To be fair, when I hear the words "white expat" and "sex trafficking" together, that guy sure does look the part!
I'm not saying it wouldn't.
But that's exactly my point. Social media are a bane of humanity.
Honestly I think they were both idiots.
The diver, there are many far more elegant ways to say "we don't need the minisub" than "shove it up the ". It was completely stupid. I know that nowadays its fashionable to speak ill of Elon Musk, but the fact is he put his companies assets at their disposal. They didn't just created a minisub in 8 hours, he also sent engineers from the boring company to assist with trying to find areas to dig a passage into the kids location, as well as offering the use of the Boring Company ground penetrating radar. In the end nothing ended up being needed, but nobody knew at the time. What if plan A failed, or conditions changed, the monsoon started before the rescue, the water pumps broken down earlier, etc, and made it impossible to follow plan A? Any help and coming forth with alternative solutions deserves praise, not disdain.
As for Elon Musk's reply, he completely lost the plot there. Very distasteful reply, no matter how much a the other guy was. He should have just ignored it and moved on, after all in a week nobody will remember it anyway.

Yep. Diver's slight was uncalled for. Musk's response was ridiculous. The dude wants to be Tony Stark, maybe he should fund some development into replicating the Iron Man's charm and less on his tech. Everyone seems to take everything personally now. Brake a little to hard on the road and someone's coming for you with a pipe wrench. There's something about egocentrism that could be said but I'm not smart enough to write that paper.
