Elon Musk has called the lead diver "pedo guy".  Elon Musk has lost the plot and appears to be turning into Howard Hughes.

Listening to R4 last night and they did a piece on Elon Musk's dummy spit. Allegedly he has a reputation for tantrums and has even walked out of a shareholder meeting when the discussions on the financial analysis was becoming over long and 'boring'; he was heard to say 'I'm not interested in this boring shit, I've got a company to run'. apparently the shareholders et al put up with his behaviour because of his disruptive innovations and their potential to make shed loads of money
For every complex problem in the world, there is a simple and easily understood solution that’s wrong.

He has already been cited as an S-T for this bucket of arse-gravy.

The problem is that people like this get surrounded by people who say 'yes' (for obvious reasons). After a while, the concept of 'no' becomes a non-sequitur, and thus every idea and statement becomes brilliant by default. Even when they aren't.

Just keep thinking about what hiding place you're going to choose for that kipper.

Given that cave diving is primarily about breaking all the rules, that will make an interesting read.
