Entrepreneur turns on mission leader who rejected his offer of a submarine

Elon Musk has questioned the expertise of Thai rescue officials who turned down his offer of a submarine, despite their having organised the successful rescue of all 12 boys and their football coach from a flooded cave.

The entrepreneur had offered his help and posted footage of tests being carried out on the apparatus he proposed in recent days.

But while Narongsak Osatanakorn, the head of the joint command centre co-ordinating the operation, acknowledged Musk’s offer he said that the mini submarine would not have been practical for the cave rescue.

“Even though their equipment is technologically sophisticated, it doesn’t fit with our mission to go in the cave,” Osatanakorn told reporters.

In response, Musk said Osatanakorn was “not the subject matter expert”, adding that he believed he had been “inaccurately described as rescue chief”, and should be more accurately referred to as the “former Thai provincial governor”.

You went into the cave and verified that?

Elon - it’s all about me.

“Don’t you have some bikers to harass?”

What do you mean?

[deadrock]

Musk is about to reveal his great shrinking machine. Then he will shrink his sub, The Muskrat, down to less than 15 inches to get through the tight spots. A genius!

[BBell]

Maybe he needs to build an Iron Man suit. I’m sure his basement is big enough.

[Yogafist]

How could that sub fail? Its made of rocket parts.

[Will88]

musk snakelike designed smart sub complete with rebreather, high density strobe headlights and a small nuclear reactor for electric and power propulsion system.

Snakelike? Does that mean it would have been capable of slinking and curving through the narrowest passages of the cave? Of course, the narrow passages were what most people thought of when the sub was mentioned.

Geez, who should we trust. Some dude sitting in his corner office in the U.S. or THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY THERE IN THAILAND AND WHO KNOW THE ACTUAL GEOGRAPHY???

Piss off, Musk, and take your Boring Company with you!

[thinden]

I don’t think he’s a POS. He’s a genius and visionary, and that group has a high incidence of mental disturbance and volatility. He’s losing it because he doesn't’t know how to recharge his mental batteries. He wants to be Superman and save the world, but it’s a big world and he’s burning out.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

What IS burning out is musk's gummit grants

Imo, he's trollin for more gravey.

Calmer heads prevail.

Rescue is over now & was successful without his brain power (gummit grants)

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Geez, troll, how much is Musk paying you to post these derogatory replies?

[Dennis M.]

I heard they paired two divers to every one kid. Probably one carried the kids tank and one worked keeping eye contact with the kid for assurance and pull him along. Besides they had to go through tight spots, which would take coordination. The sub idea seems obviously really stupid - what ever.

[TexasGator]

Did you bother to read the article?

[lefty-lie-spy]

Elon is on the wrong end of this, and making himself look like a big jackass now. Maybe he should stage a mock cave rescue a la Geraldo Rivera’s Al Capone night, and pretend to make us believe he’s saving the world.

[TexasGator]

LOL! KEYBOARD expert got his feelings hurt.
