Quick - call the lawyers and incorporate the caving company, brand a few generic flamethrowers and sell to the HN sycophants, and shit all over the free press for noticing the truth about financials and product quality

Doesn't SpaceX have some of their new suits they could lend to the rescue? Or do the suits not have integrated oxygen sources?
rbanffy
Different problems. And the suits probably don't have integrated oxygen sources or CO2 removal and are not designed for EVAs

Oh god. Of course he does.

Stay out of this Musk. There's lives at stake here and nobody needs your brainworm riddled opinions.

He does other stuff other than express opinions too. If I remember correctly he is leading privatized space exploration, bringing about the electric car revolution, and tunnel boring.

So idk, maybe someone who is focusing on quickly building tunnels might be helpful.

> Elon Musk is sending a team of engineers to Thailand to see if they can help authorities racing to save a dozen boys and their coach who are stranded in a cave there.

I suppose you didn't read the article, but if you did, his idea really has nothing to do with building a tunnel.
d0lph
Kinda, an air tunnel.

But really it seems like Musk is trying to help, you're the one who's just offering an opinion.

Oh, I have an idea. It involves crazy glue, 4 pallets of waffle cones, and a pitchfork, but nobody writes an article when I spew nonsense.
d0lph
You're right, we should not trust the advice of random strangers on the internet who spew nonsense.

Let me know when your team of engineers gets to Thailand too.

Sounds like he's sending a team to figure out if they can do anything to help. It's great he's trying to help, kinda sad that his main motivation is probably self promotion. I say let the guy have his attention if there's any chance it will help. It won't change my opinion of him anymore than Gates' recent philanthropy has changed my opinion of him.
