> The former Thai provincial governor (described inaccurately as “rescue chief”) is not the subject matter expert. That would be Dick Stanton, who co-led the dive rescue team. This is our direct correspondence
As a CEO himself, I would think Musk would know the difference between an executive and someone who is a technical lead. The "rescue chief", aka Gov. Narongsak Osottanakorn, was the official who made the call to perform the rescue operation, which he did after consultation with diving experts and the families. He is absolutely the person who matters when it comes to opinions of whether something is "not practical". Just as Musk, as Tesla CEO, is the person whose has the deciding opinion about whether a car/factory feature is practical, even if he isn't the chief engineer who does the actual implementation.
