Apart from being a genius of our time, Elon Musk makes time to engage with his followers online -- often through witty remarks, showing how a complete geek the Tesla and SpaceX founder is.
However, what we don't expect Elon Musk to do is to deliver an online rant that is hard to believe, let alone swallow, by calling people despicable names. Yeah, that's exactly what happened just a few hours ago.

The halo around Elon Musk's head unmistakably disappeared when he went on an angry offensive against a UK diver who helped rescue the 12 school boys and their coach trapped inside a cave in Thailand last week.
It all began when Elon Musk fashioned a rescue submarine and landed up in Thailand to help rescue the stranded kids inside a treacherous cave system. His submarine proved useless, as it was ill-equipped to navigate the cave.
Vernon Unsworth, a seasoned UK diver, who played a big part in rescuing the Thai kids and their coach from the cave alive, went on to call Musk's submarine rescue attempt a "PR stunt."

In a series of tweets, which are now deleted, Elon Musk then went on to suggest that he never saw Unsworth at the rescue site, calling in to question his credentials.

When a fellow Twitter user responded to Elon Musk's "pedo guy" tweet, Musk wrote back saying he would bet a "signed dollar it was true" -- it meaning the fact that Unsworth is a paedophile.
As of now, Elon Musk's Twitter accusations against Unsworth are completely unfounded, exposing a side of Musk's personality we previously haven't seen.
Does being a Silicon Valley maverick automatically give you the right to call anyone anything online? If not, what's the difference between Elon Musk and any angry online bully?
