The difference between the divers and Musk is that the divers did it without announcing their plans on Twitter. They just when there and helped. I think it's good that Musk tried to help, but the publicity he got with it makes me question his motivations. There is also no need for personal attacks

"think it's good that Musk tried to help, but the publicity he got..." If he got all that publicity, then hate the newspapers who kept giving it to him, not the guy who was just happy to help. He probably kept tweeting because that's where he first was "contacted" about the subject and had some cool photos and videos to show.
Is that the official Thai government, or some random person on Twitter? Just wondering.

Have you looked at Tweets directed at him? People ask him for all kinds of things.

How does it matter who the first person to ask for help is?

The later stages were coordinated with the local Thai rescue team. As proven by email exchange Elon published.
