The guy suing.
Because the (completely unverified, from a single source known for spouting random crazy shit via Twitter) claims have absolutely nothing to do with the rescue operation.
I don't think the diver went into this, and worked his ass off, reasonably thinking that he was going to get into a legal battle with a billionaire who turned up with an impractical and distracting toy.
I wish Elon Musk good luck.
I hope he can convince his lawyer to add the Daily Mail to the list and sue them too.
That will be fun to watch...

TL;DR version... I think...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_jurisdictionIn personal injury cases, plaintiffs will sometimes claim amounts "not to exceed $75,000" in their complaint to avoid removal of the case to federal court. If the amount is left unspecified in the ad damnum, as is required by the pleading rules of many states, the defendant may sometimes be able to remove the case to federal court unless the plaintiff's lawyer files a document expressly disclaiming damages in excess of the jurisdictional requirement. Because juries decide what personal injuries are worth, compensation for injuries may exceed $75,000 such that the "legal certainty" test will not bar federal court jurisdiction. Many plaintiffs' lawyers seek to avoid federal courts because of the perception that they are more hostile to plaintiffs than most state courts.
