- 2:19Hello everybody and welcome back to the Elon Musk pod.
- 2:23My name is Bill Walton. I'm your host.
- 2:25This episode is going to be about something kind of sketchy
- 2:29going on here. I don't know if you know about
- 2:33Elon musk's troubles with the law recently.
- 2:37He's in court because he called somebody a pedo guy.
- 2:44I'm just gonna be straight up with you.
- 2:46It sounds pretty messed up. When you call somebody, a pedo
- 2:49guy by Elon Musk called a British cave diver, who was
- 2:55trying to save 12 Boys in their football coach from a flooded
- 3:00cave in Thailand, called him a pedo guy, right?
- 3:04And the thing is, it's kind of it's a weird statement, right?
- 3:09Elon Musk has been on record and said, hey this just kind of a,
- 3:12it's a slang term, you know, we just call each other that at
- 3:14when we were kids, you know, it's a funny thing.
- 3:17We used to call each other kind of like an off humor kind of
- 3:21thing that we would call our friends and whatever back in the
- 3:24day when we were kids. But Vernon unsworth is suing
- 3:31Elon Musk for calling him, a pedal guy on Twitter and it's a
- 3:36kind of a big deal. That's a bad PR move for Elon
- 3:41Musk and SpaceX and Tesla and everything.
- 3:44So, Unsworth said that it was a PR stunt that Elon Musk had sent
- 3:51submarines to try to help save these kits.
- 3:54So, Elon Musk quickly. And when he heard about the
- 3:56story, quickly said, hey we have a solution for this.
- 3:59Let's try to make this work. Let's make these submarines real
- 4:04quick. We're just gonna pretty much we
- 4:07have the materials. Let's make them ship them there.
- 4:10We're good to go. Let's try to help these kids
- 4:11out. I didn't work out the mr.
- 4:16Unsworth said that it was a PR stunt and then his insult was to
- 4:22the mini submarine in, not to mr.
- 4:25Elon. Musk personally, so he called it
- 4:28a PR stunt, you know, he said just get in front of the cameras
- 4:32and say we're going to make these submarines.
- 4:34We're going to help these kids out Beyond musk, you know, said
- 4:37the set. Otherwise he said basically hey,
- 4:40were we have the stuff? We're going to build it, we're
- 4:42going to do the right. Thing.
- 4:43We're going to help these kids out and their football coach 12
- 4:46kids, right? That's a lot of kids and if
- 4:50you're trapped You know, in a flooded cave, come on, man.
- 4:55Anything you can do to help that seems like the right thing to
- 4:58do, but now Elon musk's lawyers want mr.
- 5:03Unsworth to apologize. For calling it, a PR stunt, and
- 5:09mr. Unsworth, like I said before is
- 5:10the one suing Elon Musk. So, as we're said, I'm not sure,
- 5:15I need to apologize. It was my opinion at the time
- 5:18and I stand by that opinion and the lawsuit focuses on three of
- 5:24Elon musk's tweets on July 15th of 2018.
- 5:28And that's You know it's about a year ago right?
- 5:33So we have about a year to work up to this.
- 5:37Musk's first tweet Asked pretty much what unsworth role was in
- 5:42the rescue. And then the second tweet said
- 5:45in, this is where he's getting in trouble.
- 5:47Sorry pedo guy you really did ask for it.
- 5:51The third tweet said, bet you a signed dollar.
- 5:56It's true. So, yeah, you can stay off
- 6:01Twitter, man. That's all I can say about
- 6:04please Ilan things like this. I mean, I know you're super rich
- 6:09your super powerful, but You can't say that to people.
- 6:15I mean, in his funny dude, like Elon Musk has a funny dude.
- 6:18So if he was just joking, I totally understand it.
- 6:20Because those are the things that you would say to, you know,
- 6:24to your friends, you know, when you're just joking around, you
- 6:26can see things to your friends. So you don't say to random
- 6:29people that are trying to help twelve kids that are trapped in
- 6:33a cave with their coach, you know?
- 6:38Mr. Unsworth said that the tweets harmed him harm his
- 6:42reputation by branding him as a pedophile in a liar humiliated
- 6:46ashamed in dirtied by Elon Musk. So, you know, he's on trial
- 6:53right now for this and it's all coming to a head right now.
- 6:59So, hopefully he'll on, you know, can figure this out, mr.
- 7:04Unsworth, you know, they come to a, you know, a meeting of the
- 7:11minds so to speak and talk it out.
- 7:14Figure it out because at the end of the day, the really just two
- 7:17people that we're trying to help the same kids.
- 7:20You know, Elon with a submarine unsworth, he was there on site
- 7:25trying to help them. So I hope this all works out
- 7:27well in mr. Unsworth is.
- 7:29Okay. And Elon Musk is okay, at the
- 7:31end. So other than that, I got
- 7:33nothing else on this, but there is a lot of stuff going on in
- 7:36court. And if anything really happens
