I didn't do anything to help- I don't think saving 12 people in a Thailand cave means a lot, globally speaking. Why do you say he was asked to do something? He offered to help. More realistically, however, he should have chosen to stay out of the way- he didn't get his device to the site until the rescue operation was already half completed. It wouldn't have worked anyway- it wasn't fit for the purpose. Getting a bunch of PR for somethign that wasn't really asked for and doesn't work seems pointless attention getting.
The question was put to him by random people on Twitter, not by the Thai government. His initial response that he thought the Thai government had it in hand.

Other teams from other organisations were also working on similar things: https://twitter.com/Jiradett/status/1016690284619599873
