Basically kids were stuck in a flooded cave and a bunch of people wanted to save them including Elon.

So he sent a team of Tesla engineers and a mini submarine. The submarine was never used and instead a professional diver saved the kids.

The diver called the submarine a PR stunt and suggested that Elon "stick his submarine where it hurts" (admittedly not very nice).

Elon responded with a series of tweets including one where he called the diver a "pedo guy" (even less nice)

I think it should be noted that the submarine was in no way practical. But they sent it anyways so they could say they tried.

It's pretty important context for the "PR" comment.
