Scenario

Monday, July 9, 5 a.m.: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posts photos and video from inside the cave, but his rescue idea ultimately proves too complicated to be useful
Elon Musk said on Twitter July 4 he was “happy to help” the Thai government in its rescue effort “if there is a way to do so”, and continued to post about the rescue mission over the coming days.
Thai authorities and representatives for Musk begin discussing the possibility of using resources from Musk’s companies to help rescue the boys’ in the cave, including using technology from SpaceX, Tesla, or The Boring Company.
Musk suggests a series of tubes could be sent through the cave network and inflated, creating a tunnel for the team to travel through without needing to scuba dive. He later scraps that idea, and starts testing a “kid-size submarine” in Los Angeles to put the boys in and bring them out of the cave.
On Tuesday, Musk posts photos on his Twitter account from inside the cave. “Mini-sub is ready if needed,” he wrote. “It is made of rocket parts & named Wild Boar after kids’ soccer team.”
Narongsak Osatanakorn, the Thai official leading rescue operations, said they didn’t need Musk’s sub.
“Although his technology is good and sophisticated, it’s not practical for this mission,” the rescue chief said.

The members of a Thai soccer team trapped in a flooded cave network have written letters to the outside.
The stranded boys told their relatives they loved them, and asked for treats including fried chicken and BBQ pork for when they escape.
Rescue efforts continue at the flooded and deadly cave network in which they have been trapped for two weeks.
The regional governor said late Friday that there is a window of three or four days that is the optimum time to get the boys o
The 12 members of a Thai soccer team trapped in a flooded cave network have written hopeful letters to their families on the outside, asking for fried chicken and BBQ when they escape.
The Thai Navy SEALs, who are leading the dangerous operation to get the boys out, posted images of the letters on Facebook.
Members of the team wrote the messages in pen by torchlight inside the cave, then handed them to rescue divers who carried them to the outside world.
It came as authorities admitted that time is running out to get the boys out of the caves, where they have been stuck for two weeks since June 23.
Kids Letters
Despite the risks, the boys all struck an upbeat tone in their messages. According to translations by the BBC, the most common theme of the letters was a request for their favourite food:
One boy, called Nick, wrote: “Mum, Dad, Nick loves Mum and Dad and siblings. If I can get out, Mum, Dad please bring me mu kratha (a type of BBQ pork) to eat… Nick loves Mum, Dad and siblings.”
Another, Tan, wrote: “Mum and Dad don’t worry about me, I’m fine. Tell my brother to be ready to bring me fried chicken. Love you.”
Ake, the boys’ coach, wrote a letter to relatives, saying: “To my grandma, I’m ok, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me too much. And take care of yourself. Auntie, tell grandma to cook numpak (a vegetable dish) and pork skin for me. When I get out I will go to eat. Love you guys.”
And what appears to be a joint statement from the whole team says: “The kids say don’t worry. We are all strong. When they come out they want to eat many things. When they come out they want to go back home immediately. Teacher, don’t give us lots of homework!”
At a press conference late Friday evening, the regional governor said that there is a window of three to four days to prepare the boys to get out.
