"Musk could contact the rescuers and provide solution options privately."

How? What if he doesn't have contacts and doesn't want one of his assistants putting a bunch of time into finding the single contact needed. He literally talked to them instantly, anyone who knows the people working on this can get back to him directly, Musk didn't even know their name.

It's very easy to make these contacts quicly if you are recognized entity in the field.

Call to Thai embassy would be the first step.
