Unless it can be proven that his now girlfriend is not the "young one" that was with him when he first went there.Musk is not a Donald Trump just mouthing off on any and all subjects he could be right in this case. It does make for a new Thailand drama.

    What a load of BS, it is a fact that Musk is a drug user and has emotional problems.

    Musk needs to be liberated from some of his millions.

    Vernon to my mind has done absolutely nothing wrong that deserves this slur on his reputation, and without his swift action bringing real professionals to the cave rescue, it would probably have been

There has been absolutely no evidence produced for musk's claims.

 

The man is oversensitive to criticism.

 

He should have ignored unsworth's comments, rather than lashing out with baseless accusations.

So no one knows much about the Brit, whats he do here.?.

That can be said for all westerners living in Thailand .

Vern was just another person before this episode .

No one knows much about you , what do you do here ?

Someone sounds a touch jealous.

... the wrath of a narcissist... unbounded.

Elon is from South Africa.  Vern started it. If he had kept his trap shut none of this would have befallen him.

The American obsession with sleazy billionaires.

 

They have never left off from the 1870's onwards.

 

Perhaps if they had had a royal family things would be better but..Kennedy's,Clinton's..Bush's et al..leaves them without any form of social and cultural compass whatsoever.

Really?

So Vernon Unsworth and Elon Musk is Thai?

Careful who you insult, Elon's idea was the bouncy castle approach which was shot down by the cave experts. The sub idea was from the cave experts in Thailand. Richard Stanton, one of the British cave diver heroes who discovered the kids said to Elon "It is absolutely worth continuing with the development of this system in as timely a manner as feasible.". The cave experts asked, Elon delivered.

 

Thanks for clarification, but Musk's claims about Unworth are unwarranted & unsubstantiated!!

He maybe wealthy & clever, but he's a loose cannon, as seen in recent weeks!!

She sure does not look 40 years old.....It must be Asian Pearl Cream!

 

Image result for asian pearl cream

–or the anti wrinkle app in ladies smart phones, you know women's iPhones comes default with another app set-up than gentlemens – that's why Vern also look younger when in photos together his girlfriend – however, she's indeed a very beautiful lady...?

Well, unwarranted and unsubstantiated as Vernons "stick the sub were it hurts" and we should as well keep in mind that it was Vernon who started….

 

Rather ridiculous and unnecessary from both parties, but again - Vernon started so no reason for him to be surprised that it came something in return….

This apparently is the latest accusation from Musk - mind the above quote came from The Sun!

It however originates from an E-mail from Elon Musk...?

Off the record


I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you <deleted> <deleted>. He’s an old, single white guy from England who’s been traveling to 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. There’s only one reason people go to Pattaya Beach. It isn’t where you’d go for caves, but it is where you’d go for something else. Chiang Rai is renowned for child sex-trafficking.

Yes she is but if you look at Mr. Unsworth's hair in that post #1 photo versus from pictures from a few months back that post #1 picture could have been taken 7 years ago.

 

EDIT: If you look at the linked SUB article there are more current pictures of the couple.

I was warned not to drive an Ambulance, or Distribution Truck here during the floods years ago, but could donate goods and money..He must have a different Visa to most Ferangs.

They look like a typical Farang/Thai couple to me.  Certainly representative of most of the ex-pat couples I know in Thailand.

Elon Musk, the guy that people love to hate, but hope to emulate. Maybe he's thinking of running for President. Despite the unsubstantiated pedo accusation, Unsworth did some heroic stuff in that cave. Elon ought to put up, or shut up. As for Tik's young looks, maybe it's the pearl necklace, not the pearl cream ?

Only people born in America can run for president.

Elon Musk was born in south Africa.

Who is feeding him with this disgusting information?

He did not make it up himself.

Probably not a pedo but any man who spends years in Pattaya has a bag of embarrassing dirt behind them. Does he risk having a billionaire dig that up? 

For what its worth, from another news source:

"Mr Unsworth said he had never visited Pattaya or any other areas of Thailand with similar reputations for depravity. ‘What Mr Musk is saying is any foreigner living in Thailand is a paedo guy,’ he added. ‘I’ve never been to places like Phuket, I’ve never been to Pattaya, I’ve never been to any of the islands.’ "

AHH, that will be the car, which for some unfathomable reason Mr Musk fired into space earlier in the year, burning up on re-entry!

Not sure if Vernon has yet to initiate legal action.  After Musk made the initial allegation he, Musk, commented that Vernon seemed unwilling to litigate. 

 

I'm sure it would be an expensive process, but if Vernon feels confident that the comments were unfounded, I'm sure there would be a gaggle of lawyers offering to take on a suit with only a percentage of the win to pocket (as well as some fame for themselves)
