Elon Musk goaded into promising to fix Flint water problems (pledge making style)

[C C]

Repeatedly making commitments outputted by either "Guilty Conscience White Rich Man Syndrome" or "Superhero Fugue" is going to get him into trouble yet.

EXCERPT: Elon Musk has been goaded into using his vast amount of wealth to fix Flint's water problems.

The SpaceX and Tesla boss has been criticised in recent days for the nature of his attempts to help with the rescue of the Thai boys from a cave, during which he built a submarine that was rejected by the leaders of the rescue operation. Many people that argued that the billionaire could use his huge wealth more effectively, by paying for civil or charitable projects. And one of those people has now successfully called out Mr Musk and made him commit to helping out with problems at home.

Mr Musk almost immediately replied to the taunt: "Please consider this a commitment that I will fund fixing the water in any house in Flint that has water contamination above FDA levels," he posted. "No kidding."

As a parent, I would have been grateful that he was willing to help, but personally, I would have abandoned the idea after learning that some parts of the cave were too narrow for the divers to wear scuba tanks.
