Ethnic cleanser, war criminal, and perpetrator of genocide are worse.
Well, actually I was thinking about those, but there is one big difference; if you call some random british expat diver “war criminal” or “perpetrator of genocide” no one believes you (unless you present some hard evidence). So it is not very effective insult.

So you’re saying everyone automatically believes this guy is a pedophile because Elon tweeted an angry response to the jerk? Give me a break. I know people can be stupid, lack common sense and the ability to critically think at times...oh, wait...never mind.

If you searched your own name on the internet and saw 5 million hits for 'pedophile' ah I don't need to explain the problem with this.

Do you seriously mean that a tweet by a random follower "can you help?" amounts to being invited to get involved?

Elon deferred initially: "I suspect that the Thai govt has this under control, but I’m happy to help if there is a way to do so"
Do you have any data to support your assertion: "For me the situation does look as if he barged his way into a situation where he has no previous expertise"?

At this point, the news organizations are the only ones printing this...
So...
Yeah...
They're a psychological representation of the mob. They'll print it as long as you click and stay interested. One part spectacle, one part excuse for virtue signalling. What if the news organizations had their own decorum and refused to publish such a tweet? Or refused to publish this guy's quote in the first place?

I love Elon, but the thing that was most interesting to me lately are his attempts to help people in Flint and Thailand. According to TeslaCharts (a known Tesla bear) people have reached out before and he has not helped. Perhaps he was not able to previously and is more willing now. Interesting data point nonetheless.

Dude has 20+ million followers and you come up here w/ 3 tweets? That isnt an interesting data point -- it is straight up noise.

He hasn't tweeted anything recently just retweets of positive model 3 news. And almost everything their Sunday was deleted.

Why does this even matter? How did this thread degenerate into a "whose diss is worse" contest? Calling someone a pedophile is highly inappropriate, especially when it refers to a stereotype that maligns a whole country. Way to miss the point...

Meh, that is what happens when issues run their course. The topic was dead yesterday.
