Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has apologised to a British cave diver he called “pedo guy” in a row over the cave rescue in northern Thailand.
He said he had “spoken in anger” after Vern Unsworth ridiculed a mini-submarine he had commissioned for the rescue effort as a “PR stunt”.
“His actions against me do not justify my actions against him, and for that I apologise,” Mr Musk said.
Mr Unsworth has said he may sue for being called a “paedophile”.
