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”.

Maybe Musk’s plan would have worked. We know the Thai plan worked.
Grab a tissue, ElonIdiot
Yeah, I read it. No real description of how the sub could make it through those sudden, tight turns, troll, but you just go on believing it could do such, if it makes you feel more comfortable.
Overrated idiot.
“Elon is on the wrong end of this, and making himself look like a big jackass now. “
Red the article.
My mother often said that there would be times to just keep your mouth shut.
Musk should realize that this is one of those times.
.
An apt description of Musk. A fascinating man at any rate.
And Musk congratulated them on their success!
You men Musk should not have congratulated the rescue teams?
Really?
I did. Now what?
The submarine looks a lot like the motorcycle built for the speed record https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCuokkXJsoc
I wonder if folks who support Musk on this have had any involvement in cases involving motorcycle gangs.
If you read it you would see that he actually congratulated the rescue effort.
You know EXACTLY what I meant——don’t be such an ass.
.
Yup
Musk, the meglomaniac narcissis
“I wonder if folks who support Musk on this have had any involvement in cases involving motorcycle gangs.”
I really doubt it.
Total misuse of that term. The ugly American was so named in the book because he was in fact physically unattractive
“You know EXACTLY what I meant——don’t be such an ass.”
I really don’t. And keep your posts civil
What he does not take into account is that some one, other than him, might be clever enough to find a way to extract these kids and coach.
They did and it is done.
Being an obnoxious troll is all you have in life isn’t it? LOL
