I actually like Musk, but this reeks of him trying to be like some kind of Iron Man rich superhero coming to the rescue.
I bet there was some serious eye rolling when he rocked up, blurting out 'Ok, let's do this thing' in his stupid American accent (no offence, those with a stupid American accent).

He's South African with a South African accent.
feck. Still looks like a wanker in my mind though.
So what you are saying is that he's actually Ulysses Klaue?
No fecking clue who that is, but ye sure.
Two more to go?
That's an obscure reference to another Marvel Comic character(working off the Iron Man comparison from the first post). He's a South Afrikaneer criminal/arms dealer.
And some of the rescue personnel, doctor who had stayed behind with the group.
Musk is so weird.
Norwegian paper TV2 reports everbody is out.
Would be amazing if true.
I can't stand him, everything he does is a marketing ploy to further his own branding. This included. Anything they make will have zero effect on this rescue but he's going to make sure the American public associate his brandname with it.

It's no where near that weird.
SpaceX and Boring are the perfect companies to help in something like this. They deal with manufacturing systems in quick time, deal with immense pressures, deal with keeping people alive in difficult conditions.
On this occasion they weren't needed. In another life, maybe they would have been
"Hi I'm business magnate, investor and engineer Elon Musk, and I give you the Cave Child Rescue Submarine. I've saved cave children in Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook and, by gum, it put them on the map! Well, sir, there's nothin' on Earth like a genuine bona-fide Child Size oxygenated submarine! What'd I say?"
Rescue Diver: Ehh, they're all out mate. It's just some of the rescue team and Doctor in there now....but thanks anyway?

Great news. All involved are heroes.
great news
Hallelujah ! 
Confirmed: 12 rescued
The 12th boy has been rescued, the Thai navy Seals have confirmed. “Hooyah.”

Mad respect for everyone involved in the rescue (not including Elon Musk, of course).
Fantastic news, heroes all involved.
As I said, it is good that he wants to help, and the development of the sub might prove helpful in future situations like this.
But the timing of arriving on the last day, when he is obviously not needed, with a piece of equipment that hasn't been tested and which doesn't seem to be functional for the specific cave in question, is weird. It is unimaginable that the team of rescuers would throw out the technique and procedure they have currently been pursuing to brilliance and try out a completely new device when lives are at stake.
Brilliant. Absolutely inspirational.
So it's just the doctor and the SEALs left in there I guess?
Get in. This has made my day.
They do great things but they accomplish stuff by overworking underpaid engineering talent out of Uni, or overworking engineers who fall in love with the SpaceX ideal. It's a horrible existence; their turnover rates are insane.
Awesome song.
Great news.
Fantastic news!
Great effort for everyone involved. Except Musk, obviously.

Amazing news. Shame they won't be able to attend the final, that would have been brilliant for the mental healing process.
Thank God! So happy for them. Hope they'll be strong enough to make the trip to Moscow.
I doubt it unfortunately. Would have been fantastic though.
Maybe the CL final next season?
Doctors confirmed they would need at least 1 week stay in hospital.
Excellent news. Let's hope the Dr's and remaining divers get out safely too.
Want to see all divers out now. What a happy ending awaits us. RIP for the poor man who gave his life for this.
Phew!!
Yes!!
In absolute awe of everyone involved in the rescue. Incredible stuff.
