      Heard about @Elonmusk's rescue "submarine"? The cave-diver who masterminded the Thai cave rescue called it a "PR stunt"—that was the politest thing he said. You might be wondering: well, he tried to help. Let me explain with this thread and this NYT piece. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/14/opinion/sunday/elon-musk-thailand-hubris.html …pic.twitter.com/MWicaJKaA6

      Never saw this British expat guy who lives in Thailand (sus) at any point when we were in the caves. Only people in sight were the Thai navy/army guys, who were great. Thai navy seals escorted us in — total opposite of wanting us to leave.

          Water level was actually very low & still (not flowing) — you could literally have swum to Cave 5 with no gear, which is obv how the kids got in. If not true, then I challenge this dude to show final rescue video. Huge credit to pump & generator team. Unsung heroes here.

          You know what, don’t bother showing the video. We will make one of the mini-sub/pod going all the way to Cave 5 no problemo. Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.

          So Vern is the diver who was among the first there, dug up the maps, brought in the other divers, figured out where the boys were and convinced authorities. Look beyond your irritation with his irritation and listen for a sec why he might be irritated, ok?https://edition.cnn.com/2018/07/13/uk/thai-cave-rescue-british-divers-intl/index.html …

          I know you said clearly you'd defer to the divers, and I point that out in my piece. But rescuers hate high profile interventions & VIP visits etc. Quiet, background development is great, publicity is not) because they're also fighting a million officials with own ideas/agendas.+

          I was once in the middle of an earthquake rescue with an amazing team. Politest people. Their lives on the line. Humble. Years later, I just don't have words. Literally the biggest problem they faced was local officials, politicians & celebs who butted in. Even if well meaning.+

          Officials pull/push actual rescuers. Sub as a back-up option (are people still working on it with domain experts?) is great to explore quietly, but the thing they fear is that an official comes and overrules the rescuers. Try this flashy thing! Happens to disastrous consequence.

          We had someone important and famous land with a @#$@!! helicopter to the earthquake zone to "support our work and improve our morale." At that point, we were working round the clock next to a burning refinery and the biggest challenge was establishing silence to listen for life.+

          These rescuers I had been working, who were so humble, polite and expert—and who accepted everything and just worked and worked at great risk to themselves, climbing into rubble in the middle of 6.5+ aftershocks.. I learned more English curse words that day than since or before.+

          Both SpaceX and NASA are big fails. Both have postponed deadlines to meet adequate spacecraft standards and both have canceled manned missions to the moon and mars. You've been fed a false sense of hope and unfortunately you're full of it.

          As far as having left earth to outer space, there's only a few hundred whom you've put your faith and trust in. But to doubt that and to question the official narrative which has obvious holes in it is forbidden and frowned upon. This is a classic example of sheeple mentality.

          Mr Musk, you did the decent thing and tried to help. We can't ask any more of you than that. If I was one of the parents, I'd certainly appreciate your efforts and anybody else that cared enough to get on site to assist. Ignore these horrible, cynical individuals!

          Do the decent thing @elonmusk and just stop talking about this. You tried to help, does it matter what the world thinks? You’re giving a strong impression of this being a PR stunt is you do care enough to keep tweeting about it.

          Oh that's right, because you wouldn't defend yourself from a half-baked @nytimes writer if you were in his position. #Getajob, @Bobocr1 As if Elon doesn't have a LOT more on his mind than whether a guy like you can't grasp the implications of public image for @Tesla stock.

          I like giving money to charity and helping people for its own sake and keep it private. If I see my name in public the charity gets a call from me to never do it again. Elon tweets and YouTubes every step of the way - can’t tell the difference? Elon’s clever he knows.
