Elon Musk actually tried to get the Thai Government to stop and publicly reverse a statement criticising his little sub while the kids were STILL TRAPPED IN THE CAVE.https://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanmac/unsworth-reply-elon-musk-fucking-idiot …

I have issue with that statement. While what Musk did might be wrong on many levels, the idea that people would stop helping those kids just because someone asked them to change their statement is ridiculous. The Thai government isn’t some tiny org. Lots of people work there.

Completely disagree. Biggest danger Musk posed was diverting government attention from competent people. That’s how governments screw up rescues. (Oh, he’s a billionaire, he must know something, he’ll invest in Thailand...) He diffused focus, the most precious thing in a rescue.

I’m not sure how the entire government gets distracted.

The officials calling the shots aren’t experts. Someone miraculously got them to turn it all@over to the foreign but correct experts—of which there are so few that’s the thing stopped when they slept. Here comes Musk very loudly and with a gizmo—useless one. Recipe for disaster.
