Elon Musk has floated a variety of ways to help free the members of the Thai soccer team — but his kid-sized submarine has been politely turned down for being "not practical" for the mission.
Musk has offered the rescue mission assistance from his companies, and
engineers from two of Musk's companies, SpaceX and Boring Co., were sent to Thailand.
Musk himself also visited the site.
But his latest contribution – a small, child-sized submarine – was ultimately not suited to the rescue mission.
Narongsak Osatanakorn, the head of the joint command center who has been coordinating the operation, told reporters: "Although his technology is good and sophisticated it’s not practical for this mission," according to
The Guardian and
the BBC.
