Musk has repeatedly downplayed the coronavirus.

He& #39;s called the panic "dumb," said children are "essentially immune," and declared there would "probably" be no new U.S. cases by the end of April. https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/3/19/21185417/elon-musk-coronavirus-tweets-panic-ventilators-chloroquine-tesla-factory">https://www.vox.com/recode/20...
“There’s debate over whether BPAP machine could be helpful in Covid-19.

There’s no debate over whether sleep apnoea machines are things normally referred to as “ventilators” that are used in ICUs & so could be useful for severe cases (Theyre not)”

“Why Elon Musk disobeyed government orders and reopened a Tesla factory -

Musk thinks it’s okay for his Tesla factory to break the rules on reopening.

Local officials disagree.” https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/5/12/21255812/elon-musk-tesla-factory-coronavirus-reopening">https://www.vox.com/recode/20...

Elon argues that wages and working conditions in his (subsidized!) factories are "trade secrets" that shouldn& #39;t be subject to public records requests: https://twitter.com/KateAronoff/status/1301148029815320577">https://twitter.com/KateArono...
"Musk said people were far more likely to die in a car crash, failing to note that car crashes aren’t infectious, nor do they double in frequency every two to three days—as Covid-19 in the US was then doing." https://newrepublic.com/article/160268/selling-american-space-dream">https://newrepublic.com/article/1...
“Musk’s companies dipped into the bucket of cash that the Treasury held out for corporations in the early days of the pandemic.

While Musk spent his time tweeting against govt aid for individuals, Tesla received its own tranche from the bailout fund.” https://newrepublic.com/article/160500/elon-musks-big-government-grift">https://newrepublic.com/article/1...

"The Bitcoin buy is also a clear indictment of Tesla’s, and Musk’s, image as an environmentally conscious innovator.

There are few speculative assets more harmful to the climate than Bitcoin, which consumes a colossal amount of electricity." https://newrepublic.com/article/161291/elon-musk-tesla-bitcoin-value-reckless-troll">https://newrepublic.com/article/1...
"It appears that to bulk up its paltry balance sheet, Tesla sold environmental carbon credits and then funneled the proceeds into the digital equivalent of burning coal."
