As the concern over the safety and evacuation of the 12 boys and their coach, who are trapped inside a cave for almost a fortnight now grows, Tesla head and techpreneur Elon Musk has said that SpaceX is building and working on a small "kid-sized submarine"  in order to rescue the boys and their coach. Just days before, SpaceX engineers and had been to Thailand to assist with the rescue operations for the boys trapped in the Tham Luang cave complex.

Musk had tweeted after a Twitter user pleaded him to help the 12 boys and their coach. In a series of tweets, he said how his business, The Boring Company could help the rescuers in this operation at Thailand. The United States-based company digs tunnels for advanced transport systems and has ground penetrating radar and Musk suggested that his experts are “pretty good at digging holes.” Musk tweeted about the possible path to rescue the kids and their coach. Check out his tweet:

He also tweeted lauding the fighting spirit of the boys and tweeted that he "Continue to be amazed by the bravery, resilience & tenacity of kids & diving team in Thailand. Human character at its best(sic)."

The weather in the area is a major concern for the rescue, as the heavy showers continue. There is a fear that the caves may get flooded again, causing more difficulties in the mission. The cave is a complex network of passages and a very popular tourist spot in Thailand. A major rescue operation with experts from various countries are involved in the effort to get the boys out of the cave safely as the world prays for their safe return.
