This makes no sense...

Both men wrote some childish things on twitter, so why would this even make it into court? Obviously meaningless trash-talk, should it just be settled out by the bus stop, like normal kids?

Maybe I just don't understand the British, it's just words, not really worth raise a fuss over, but only $75,000? Either this guy has a very low opinion of his self worth, or "mentally challenged". That's nothing to a multi-billionaire, sort of like a mosquito bite. Guess it's sort of how the British insult rich people. Musk out to just send his lawyer over with a check, and some settlement papers, why waste anybodies time of childish nonsense... Musk could also give him a free Tesla (batteries not included, like most things these days), maybe hand some kid a can of spray paint and $20, to graffiti the passenger side door, with the words, 'Free Candy'. Just to let him know there are no hard feelings.

How much damage could a childish online exchange really do to a rescue diver's reputation? Do they not call him, if a rescue involves young boys? Can't there is much time in the water, to practice perversion during a rescue. Have to be one extremely sick individual. The conditions can't be good or safe, or the victim usually wouldn't need a professional. Water rescues are dangerous, the victim panics, they'll climb all over you, pushing you under.

I don't, maybe $75,000 in England, is a large fortune. I'm not a rich guy, but fairly certain I could raise that to pay a settlement, wouldn't be happy, but I'd still own my house, and everything else. But why insult a rich guy, who sincerely wanted to help? And why be so 'limp-wristed' when he slings a few insults back. The had a lot of kids, little time, one diver already died, and no plan. Maybe Musk's idea was obviously flawed, but you's think a professional rescue dude could have been a little more 'sensitive', considering how badly he got his feelings hurt over the pedophile comment...

The following day, Musk responded to a BuzzFeed News article about comments made against Unsworth, and in an email to the reporter Musk wrote, "He's an old, single white guy from England who's been traveling or living in Thailand for 30 to 40 years, mostly Pattaya Beach, until moving to Chiang Rai for a child bride who was about 12 years old at the time."

A reasonable judge would rule against the plaintiff, mustly for wasting the court's time, on such a childish claim. He also doesn't consider that Elon is going to pull a lawyer out of the phonebook, he has a team on hand, all very good at their jobs, and will want to keep them. They aren't going to just make a reasonable effort, they are going to look to do some damage, make the boss proud.

Climate Change caused these caves in Thailand to flood, while a soccer team were in there, and they got trapped. A lot more rain was coming, difficult and dangerous rescue, little time. One rescue diver died, and there was no safe plan for getting those kids out of the cave, before the water got too high, and they drowned anyway. Elon Musk had an idea for sort of a submarine, which probably wouldn't have worked, made things work. A british diver, had the silly idea of publicly (TV, Twitter) throwing out a few insults, but wasn't man enough to take the results.

Rain caused the caves to flood. Rain is not 'climate change'.

Figured I needed to add that, to get it on topic... Those caves likely flood every year during the monsoons, just the coach didn't keep up on such things...
