Elon Musk has apologised to a British caver - who helped rescue 12 boys from a Thai cave - for calling him a "pedo".Tesla CEO Musk launched the extraordinary tirade against Vernon Unsworth without providing any justification or explanation, after the cave expert slammed his offer of a miniature submarine to extract the footballers from the Tham Luang cave as a "PR stunt".The "Wild Boars" team were rescued last week by an international team of divers through a narrow network of twisting, flooded tunnels.Unsworth, who provided mapping knowledge of the cave to rescuers, said Musk's prototype would have had "absolutely no chance of working".Musk responded Sunday in a bizarre series of tweets referring to Unsworth, without using his name, as "pedo guy".
"Pedo" is short for paedophile.The entrepreneur doubled down on his claim, tweeting from his official account to more than 22 million followers: "Bet ya a signed dollar it's true". Musk later deleted the tweets.(This story has not been edited by TheIndianSubcontinent staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)
