Unlike Musk, they were asked to help by officials in charge because they were the best at what they do. What they had just achieved was an unbelievable feat rescuing those boys.

The place was already a media circus but Elon decided to involve himself anyway and complicate the situation because he read about it in the news?

So when the actual heroes of the story are asked questions about the annoying tech billionaire who wanted to try out one of his 'new toys' in such a high pressure situation, they didn't mince words. It was a stupid idea, and he said as much.

Apparently this hero (and I mean HERO, not some cliche) was supposed to be more diplomatic to the sensitive self serving tech billionaire who injected himself into the story, did nothing but promote his own image and then slandered the actual people who performed the rescue.
