Mask is excused to the diver, whom he called "pedophile"

The entrepreneur and innovator Ilon Mask apologized to a British diver, whom he called pedophile during the conflict, how to save children from a cave in Thailand.

A businessman said that he had "expressed his anger" because Vern Answorth was making fun of the submarine that Mr. Mask had sent to save children. Mr. Ansvers called this a PR-trick.

"His behavior towards me does not justify my actions against him, and I apologize for that," said Mask.

Earlier, Vern Ansvers said he could sue for what he called a pedophile.

12 boys and their coach were saved from the cave, where they lost two weeks ago.

Faithful Ansvers' knowledge of these caves is believed to have played a key role in salvation.

He was immersed there from the first days, as it became known that the children were lost, and also helped attract the best international experts to the mission.

During the operation, Mr Mask, head of SpaceX and Tesla, visited the headquarters and said that he had left the underwater mini-lifeguards.

What did Mask write?

In a response to a Twitter user, referring to an article about his involvement in the operation, Mask wrote that he was apologizing to Mr. Ansover and his team.

"My fault is mine," he writes.

At the same time, however, Mask accused Ansover of being "fake" about a mini-submarine, which has never been used to save children.

What controversy?

Ansverst said that Masaru's submarine "will not work in any way" and suggested to the Mask "to launch this submarine wherever he wants".

The entrepreneur responded with a series of tweets that Ansverta did not name by name, but called him a "British expatriate, who lives in Thailand".

He also wrote that he would make a video on how a mini submarine dives into the cave "without problems", adding "excuse me, but you asked".

This tweet was received by 22 million Mask folklore. However, later he deleted it.

However, Answort was not the only target of Mask's dissatisfaction. He also criticized the chief of Nangansan Osottanakorn's rescue headquarters for his alleged "impractical" submarine, with all his "technological excellence".

How did the drama of the cave unfold?

On June 23, 12 boys aged 11 to 16 and their 25-year-old coach were trapped by flooding one of the caves.
