Won’t be needing your sub, Elon!

-

TYCOON Elon Musk turned up at the rescue site yesterday with a ‘child-sized submarine’ he had named Wild Boar after the boys’ soccer team.

The US billionair­e and founder of Tesla said he had a positive response from divers ahead of the final rescue mission.

But he was left disappoint­ed by the reaction of regional governor Narongsak Osottanako­rn – who said that although the submersibl­e was ‘sophistica­ted’, it was ‘not practical for this mission’.
