Tesla boss to aid Thai boys

REPRESENTATIVES for billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk are in talks with Thai authorities about aiding in the rescue of a soccer team stuck in a cave, a Musk spokesman said.

Musk’s companies could help by trying to determine the boys’ precise location using Space Exploration Technologies Corp. or Boring Company technology, pumping water or providing heavy-duty battery packs known as Tesla Powerwalls, the spokesman said. It is unclear whether Thai officials will accept the offer.

Efforts to rescue the boys are hampered by narrow passageways and rising waters in the caves. Most of the boys cannot swim.

“I suspect that the Thai govt has this under control, but am happy to help if there is a way to do so,” Musk wrote on Twitter. SCMP
