English is a pretty tough language to learn, so even though these translations are hysterical, we salute anyone trying to learn!

The world's most meme-able billionaire is making headlines again for offering his tech services and expertise to a Thai soccer team of 12 boys and their coach who were trapped in a cave for two weeks. The soccer team was miraculously rescued, but not with Musk's help - the mission was completed by Thai Navy Seals and Musk's devices and rescue plans were deemed unnecessary and impractical by the heads of the operation. Regardless, the internet has begun joking about his determination to help, and tendency to perhaps take unnecessary credit...

In light of the ordeal, here are some hilarious Musk memes we can all laugh at - some at his expense and some made by the man himself.

If you're anything like us, you've been desperately following the harrowing saga of a Thai youth soccer team that has been trapped in flooded caves for nearly two weeks. The complicated rescue, which has already resulted in the death of one diving expert, has caught the attention of the entire world. Including, apparently, Elon Musk. 

Musk and a team of engineers quickly designed a submarine "escape pod" to aid the rescue efforts. Tested in an LA high school pool, the pod may arrive in time to help the rescue of the final five boys stuck in the caves. While many people are quick to accuse Elon of publicity stunts, the gravity of this rescue operation has been emphasized ever since it began. It's comforting that the great minds of the world can't be utilized in times of crisis. Respect.

You wish you were this good.
