Elon Musk sending SpaceX/Boring Company engineers for Thai cave rescue

Elon Musk has offered to help rescue the football team which is currently trapped in a Thailand cave.
The team of 12 and its coach went missing last month in the flooded Tham Luang cave complex.
The Thai government is on to the deadly rescue mission. Last night, a former Thai Navy SEAL diver died after delivering oxygen tanks to the team. 
Musk explores potential solutions
Musk is sending engineers from SpaceX and the Boring Company to help in the rescue operation.
He said that the Boring Company in particular "is pretty good at digging holes" and working with "advanced ground penetrating radar."
Exploring potential solutions, Musk suggested that his businesses could supply "fully charged Powerpacks and pumps" in order to aid authorities.

James Yenbamroong, founder of Thai satellite communications business Mu Space, said that SpaceX "reached out to us to help connect to Thai government".
