As a PR stunt, Musk promised to build a mini-submarine to rescue a boys soccer team that got trapped in a Thai cave in 2018. After receiving vitriol from the Thai and rescue community, Musk called one of the cave rescuers, a pedophile.

After the rescuer sues Musk for defamation, Musk pays 50k to a private investigator (and former felon), to dig up dirt on the rescuer, and was told to use "aggressive tactics".

Musk's team then told the investigator: “We would like you to immediately move forward with ‘leaking’ this information to the UK press. Obviously must be done very carefully.”

After the US-backed overthrow of Bolivia's president Evo Morales (mainly for control of its lithium resources) the unelected interim opposition leader Jean Anez privatises Bolivia's state lithium company, and invites Elon Musk to produce batteries there.

He concurs, and Tesla's stock price soars. In response Elon Musk says: "We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it."

Elon Musk was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein.

In another PR stunt in April 2020, after dismissing covid fears as "dumb", he states that he will send 1k ventilators to the New York City hospital system.

He ends up sending 40 out-of-spec ones, that doctors warn could spread the virus further.
