SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted photographs and video of his 'mini-sub' that he has left in Thailand in an effort to help authorities rescue members of a boys' soccer team trapped in a cave.

Musk is in Thailand to tout his 'child-size submarine' that he says he is willing to leave in Thailand to help the boys although with two-thirds of them rescued he may be a bit late.

On Twitter and Instagram, Musk posted images showing himself in 'Cave 3' although there is no confirmation that that is where the trapped boys are located.

The prototype revealed by the billionaire Musk on Monday shows a large metal tube with a nose cone that is meant to serve as the mini-submarine that would help the members of the youth soccer team to safety.

Officials from Musk's Boring Company and SpaceX traveled to Thailand to offer their assistance, but it appears that the Thai government has managed without them.


The submarine (pictured below being tested in the US) is unlikely to be delivered to the cave rescue in time but may be used in similar rescuers in the future.

An unidentified person is seen in the 'child-size' submarine built by Elon Musk and left in Thailand to help with the cave rescue.

That guy is the other surviving steve jobs our own wey dey villages, Buhari and his cronies don kill them.

The ones wey survive they tell them say them no be Hausa so dem no get right to Nigerian resources say na spear parts, cultism and cocoa farming be their heritage.

The ones wey be Hausa their Papa say make them no go school because na sin e be to go oyibo school.

I understand that, but it seems the submarine is not user friendly. What if something goes wrong with the person inside, how will the divers get to know that in time.

I don't think anything can go wrong as long as the oxygen supply in the tube is well.
