Seems like a better response would be to prove your submarine is awesome than claim the detractor is a pedo. But I'm not the smartest man in the world.

It'll be interesting to see if Elon Musk, darling of startup entreprewannabes, gets a pass here.

I hope his followers understand the precedent this sets. Are they truly about engineering solutions to tough problems (as they claim they are), or are they just a cult of personality cultivated to protect a thin-skinned master?

People who are about engineering solutions to tough problems would worship an engineer that spends his time actually working on tough problems.

Elon Musk is business man. His actual occupation is organization, management, negotiation, finance and public relations.
