"absolutely useless project that nobody asked for"

The rescue effort started earlier than expected, so there wasn't time to iterate on the design. There's plenty to criticize Musk for but it's dumb to comment if you don't know the sequence of events.

One of the rescuers said it wouldn't have got 50 ft and that Musk had no clue what it was like in the cave. Pure PR, just like a bunch of us said in many threads about his submarine heroics on this site.

Sorry you couldn't see through it.
