Elon Musk Defends His Rejected Mini-Sub Plan for Thai Cave

>He said the expert was Richard Stanton, one of the first two British cave divers to reach the soccer team, and Mr. Musk shared an email in which Mr. Stanton had asked him to “please keep working on the capsule details.”
>But a spokesman for Mr. Stanton said Tuesday that the cave proved to be too narrow for the mini-submarine.
Crazy how the Thai official in charge doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and now Stanton doesn’t know either! Why is the world conspiring against Musk with these lies?
Where’s your messiah now?
- gliptic 8y agoYeah, such nuance. Implying that I hold Musk as a "messiah" because I'm defending a backup plan that Musk was asked to continue working on, against people that apparently knew in their heart it was 100% doomed to failure from the start and instead like to shit on people because they tweet about what they're doing or some shit. Musk should have known how this would play out, but I don't think he's self-aware enough for that. I'm certainly happy they had no use for the sub, because it would have meant the situation had worsened and they had to change the plan, some kid being incapacitated or whatever. If it was too narrow after all, they would have had to keep widening the cave, which they had done in places.
