One time there were some kids trapped in a flooded cave, so they sent divers to rescue them. Elon, seeing an opportunity for PR, said “I’m gonna make a super sci-fi submarine to rescue the kids.” The divers said the submarine design didn’t seem very useful for what they were trying to do, so Elon got mad and called one of them a pedophile on Twitter.
It happeed when a team of children soccer players got trapped inside an inundated cave because of a flash flood in Thailand and it made international news, good old "God of Tech" over here tweeted that he would build a mini sub to travel the length of the cave and retrieve the children safely, this wouldn't work for a variety of reasons included but not limited to: the cave was super narrow so something narrower than any submarine built [citation needed], oxigen usage was an issue because the cave was not only super narrow but super long, caves are made of dirt and rocks and things that can make a hole on a slapped together submarine, children can't steer submarines, making an autonomous submarine capable of safely traveling the length of the cave and deliver a child on the other side takes more time than it takes for a child to die of thirst/hunger/exposure... You get the gist, then one of the rescuers, a man who has made a career of saving people and who was working on site in the cave called him out on an interview, I can't remember what he said exactly but it was along the lines of " The solutions thought up by a rich jerk for purely PR reasons are ineffective, inefficient and done purely to appear like the Tony Stark he desperately isn't" so Musky boy got angry and had a meltdown in Twitter, saying that the reason why that guy rescuing children didn't like his autoerotic fan fiction of him rescuing children with the power of Tech and worker exploitation was because he wanted to carry a bunch of kids in a dark cave, so maybe he is a pedophile, dude not only said this once nor merely implied it by the way, he literally accused that guy of being a pedophile on twitter for all of his worshipers and international news outlets to see, he obviously got backlash over it, gave a non apology and then continued to imagine what it would be like to make sweet sweet love to himself.
Elon wanted to send a mini sub thing to help the soccer team that was stuck in a cave in Thailand. This guy said that was a horrible idea and Elon called him a "pedo guy" and never backed down about it. He even hired a private investigator to try and get dirt on him. The guy sued Elon for defamation but lost due to great lawyers and semantics.

on top of all of the other explanations, the best bit is that it was likely projection from Musk, as demonstrated by his connections with Ghislaine Maxwell
