You know what, don’t bother showing the video. We will make one of the mini-sub/pod going all the way to Cave 5 no problemo. Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.

No evidence supporting Musk’s claim has yet been made public, and Unsworth has yet to respond to the accusation.

“He’s just a PR stunt merchant—that’s all he is,” Unsworth said about Musk, according to the AFP.
Unsworth splits his time between Thailand and the UK and is considered the foremost expert on the caves where the Thai soccer team was trapped. Without Unsworth’s help, the rescue probably wouldn’t have been as successful as it was.
But Elon Musk has been incredibly sensitive to criticism that he’s received about his own actions in Thailand. Musk famously flew into Thailand with his “mini-submarine,”
which was ridiculed by many for being an absurd and impractical way to save the kids. Countless experts, including Unsworth, called Musk’s actions a “PR stunt.” The head of the rescue team said that Musk’s idea simply was “
not practical.”
