Linus Torvalds disagrees.

  And the reality is that there are no absolute guarantees. Ever. The "Rust is safe" is not some kind of absolute guarantee of code safety. Never has been. Anybody who believes that should probably re-take their kindergarten year, and stop believing in the Easter bunny and Santa Claus.

This has nothing to do with 'absolute safety' (whatever that entails) but about vastly increased memory and thread safety compared to C.

Torvalds is merely stating the obvious and being a obnoxious dick-head at the same time.
