Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk's attempt to help the Thai cave rescue mission has attracted both praise and criticism. The SpaceX and Tesla chief posted on social media that he had visited the operation's command centre, where he said he had left a mini-submarine that had been
designed to carry a trapped football team to safety.
The head of the rescue mission thanked Mr Musk for his offer. But he said the sub could not be used. "The equipment they brought to help us is not practical with our mission," Narongsak Osotthanakorn explained. "Even though their equipment is technologically sophisticated, it doesn't fit with our mission to go in the cave." Thai Navy Seals subsequently announced that all 12 boys and their coach had been brought out safely. Divers in northern Thailand, today, rescued all 12 boys and their football coach from flooded caves, 17 days after they got trapped underground.
Their plight and the massive, dangerous three-day-long operation to free them gripped the world's attention. The group got trapped on 23 June after heavy rains flooded their way back out. They were found by British divers last week, huddled in darkness on a ledge amid fears they could be forced to stay there for months until water receded.
GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Obanla: decoding the meaning of your comment in English. Are you saying that it is an embarrassment for him as his mini-submarine wasnt used despite the advanced technology it was built with?
