    Funny, there is no quote in the text of the story from Musk saying that he was "keen to invest in Thailand". I wonder why?   Must have been edited out of the story by accident.   Y

    Actually Elon Musk is a genius.  He started Tesla which eventual will dominate the electric car industry; started Space X- which is a private company that will eventually send  people to Mars and the

Would he have to have Thai nominees to run his company ?

Musk could buy an island where he could dump all the charred parts of his Tesla lithium batteries. That seems to be a big business here in Thailand.

Yes, some people will sometimes help people, some will always help people, etc, so you see not everyone will never help, get it now?  I know its complicated for you but perhaps after having it spelled out to you like an infant you stand a chance.

 

And a little tip, when calling people up on their grammar it might be a better look not to throw sentences together such as, "Looks like you are exactly same complicated,".

I suggest you continue play your infant game in the sandbox.

Ok, and I suggest you reserve your slanderous pessimism for your circle jerk buddies. 

I'm a bit confused on how that tube was expected to get through the tight sqeezes. The think looks 6 foot long. If it expected to be used in the more open chambers only, then it would have considerably slowed progress.. Only one child at a time could have gone in the tube, and the next would have needed to wait, cold and wet until the tube returned empty.

 

The daisy chain method the evac team deployed was far superior.

these types can instantly *buy* thai nationality. don't be naive ?

And on what does he want to sell to Thailand ? Some more pocket submarines ? Or open up a franchised chain of ladyboy bars all over the country ?...mystery...mystery !

Yeah, that is what happened...

 

For sure...

 

100%...

He discovered he was talking to the organ grinder

 

Even Mr. Musk might see an opportunity for free publicity, he and his crew came on their own account, and did offer an alternative to help saving the Wild Boars.

Oh no.

We need an immediate crackdown on that. :shock1:

We can't have thousands of tourists in hospital with stiletto heel damage to the head.

Musk is not a fool. If he decides to invest in Thailand you can bet he will be benefiting as well. But this does not mean Thailand can't benefit as well with more jobs and technologies. I will find it amusing to see how Prayut tries to spin it to show how he brought these benefits to Thailand. Credit goes to the worlds reaction to what could have been a tragedy and Musk's desire to be involved for the benefit of his own reputation, not a politically driven man seeks election into a position he has strong armed his way into.

He hasn't taken one cent that is not offered to all companies in his sectors.

What are you his publicity manager? He personally got to where he was by sucking the puds of the Obama Outfit (the Chicago Way) and taping the taxpayers. Hope for change, Elon?

It's funny how so many people jump to criticize him. In these situations there are always a plan A, B, C etc. Just because his "submarine" wasn't used, doesn't mean it couldn't have been useful.

Analysis shows an estimated 2020 cost of $422 million per ULA launch if the Air Force selected United Launch Alliance to conduct them. That combines costs for launches using ULA’s large Delta rocket as well as its smaller, less expensive Atlas V rocket. SpaceX has been awarded two Air Force contracts at far lower per-launch costs of $83 million and $96.5 million.

And yet some people complain that Musk's SpaceX is claiming taxpayer subsidies. Presumably you would be happier if the US government paid 4 times as much to have their rockets launched by ULA (Boeing and Lockheed).

He personally made $3/4 billion from selling PayPal seven years before the Obama outfit existed, where do you people get your nonsense?

Paypal used to have good customer service. Now it's non-existent.
