I'd say never mind - either put a (new) tube inside - repair the old tube.
Is it tubeless? - Don' t think so but yet it is still possible to mend the
tire by closing the hole with
a repair sticker from the inner side of the tire.
Done this quite often in africa and never had problems for thousands of kms.
