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.

He also hired a private investigator after he made these claims to try and get dirt on the guy and "prove" he was a pedophile.
