I'm old enough to remember when those boys were trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand.
Musk offered his little submarine to rescue them.
The cave-diving expert busy rescuing the boys, an actual technical expert, said it wouldn't fit in the cave.
So Phony Stark called him a "pedo".
But which one of them went on to build a #CSAM generator?
I'm also old enough to remember when #CSAM was illegal. Not just banned, but prosecuted.
