Smarts. He has it.

Remember when he called that guy a pedo because he saved those Thai Kids from a cave and Elon didn’t get a chance to use his boring tech?

[u/BigMcThickHuge → u/BossMagnus]

He openly mocked the design and idea, saying they would VERY likely just kill the users, and VERY likely cause even bigger problems like getting stuck and now blocking the little space they had in the first place.

That got Elon all in a tizzy. He wasn't just ignored/missed a chance - someone spoke openly about him/his product in any sort of negative light. That's what drives this dipshit.

I've recently been on a cave diving kick on YouTube. I didn't realize how much of a stupid idea the Elon kid coffins was at the time of the rescue.

My YT has been dropping caveing\diving videos too I've been super interested lately.

Kinda like when Top Gear "tested" the tesla.

[u/Obvious_Ad3810 → u/Snowmoji]

Which episode was that? (NM I'll Google it. )

[u/GentrifiedSocks → u/Obvious_Ad3810]

It was a sham episode where the set it up to fail. Plenty to hate on Elon about but that one isn’t it

[u/BattleOfTaranto → u/Snowmoji]

whats the story here i'm OOTL

In 2011 Tesla gave Top Gear a couple Roadsters for them to make an episode on. Top Gear wanted to make an “interesting” episode so they staged the test drive so the car would “unexpectedly” run out of battery way before it should have and also lied about the motor overheating and brakes not working. Tesla tried to reach out, but the BBC just ignored them. Tesla then sued for libel, but the judge said no one would think Top Gear had made a genuine review??? Overall a boneheaded move by Top Gear imo

[u/BattleOfTaranto → u/klausklass]

sounds about right, Top Gear was a good show IMO but constantly fudged their narrative
