Remember the trapped miner incident where he called someone a pedo
I think that was a trapped minor incident. The trapped miner incident happened around the same time, but didn't involve Elon.
It was a group of kids trapped in caves. Professional divers were working to help, Musk sent a stupid submarine that could not fit anywhere. When he was told that he wasn't a genius, he called the diver a pedophile.
And remember the Tesla ventillators in 2020 that were going to save us all? Never used.

So yeah, it was about minors (children) trapped in a cave, not miners (the profession).
But in fairness, the Chilean miners I was thinking of was back in 2010.
