Elon Musk's Team Is Talking With Thai Officials for Cave Rescue (bloomberg.com)

Representatives for Elon Musk are in talks with Thai authorities about aiding in the rescue of a boys' soccer team stuck in a cave, said a spokesman for the billionaire. From a report: Musk's companies could help by trying to locate the boys' precise location using Space Exploration Technologies or Boring Co. technology, pumping water or providing heavy-duty battery packs known as Tesla Powerwalls, the spokesman said. It's unclear whether Thai officials will accept the offer. Twelve boys and their coach, who had been missing since last month, were found by a pair of British cave divers late Monday. Efforts to rescue them are hampered by narrow passageways and rising waters in the cave system. Most of the boys cannot swim.

Paid resentful rage actors. Their job is to manipulate social networks for the interest of whoever pays them, whether that is short-sellers, Russia, oil companies, gasoline car manufacturers, the list goes on. For decades there have been PR companies that do not only positive but negative publicity, with the advent of the Internet this just expanded to include paid trolls.

I thought that. Then I realized I've been in a cave precisely twice, neither of them underwater, and decided to shut the fuck up.
