Elon Musk, the Thai Cave Rescue Submarine, and Calling the Rescuer a Pedophile

• 56:08Tim introduces Elon Musk's involvement in the Thai cave rescue and the submarine he designed.
• 56:30Kids from a soccer team got trapped in a Chilean cave—actually Thai cave—and the rescue effort took over a week.
• 57:37Musk offered to build a personal submarine to help save the kids, but authorities proceeded with their own rescue plan.
• 58:11The British rescue leader who ran the actual operation told Musk his submarine was bullshit and to shove it up his ass.
• 58:29Musk got angry and called the rescue leader a pedophile, leading to a potential lawsuit against him.
• 58:58Tim acknowledges Musk is smart and builds functioning batteries, but also notes they blow up in people's cars.
• 59:34Musk wanted to replace Puerto Rico's power grid after a hurricane with a battery system, but the project fell through.
• 59:44Tim compares Musk to P.T. Barnum and Alex Jones—a hybrid of real accomplishments and scams.
• 1:00:16The submarine was untested, so no government official would risk putting kids into an unproven device built by Musk.
• 1:00:53While Thailand does have a child prostitution problem, you don't slur everyone from the country as a pedophile just because one person criticized your submarine.
• 1:01:12Tim concludes Musk is likely a fraud, but there's not much anyone can do about it.
