Speaking during a podcast interview with Kara Swisher, 49-year-old Musk stated that neither he nor his children are at risk for Covid-19 and therefore would be unlikely to need the vaccine.
"This is a no-win situation. It has diminished my faith in humanity, this whole thing... The irrationality of people in general," Musk said. He also decried lockdowns across the globe and in the US in particular, having previously referred to them as "unethical" and "de facto house arrest."
Musk said widespread lockdowns were a mistake and only at-risk people should quarantine "until the storm passes."
When pressed about the risk to his own employees and their families, with Swisher asking what if someone dies, Musk pithily responded: "Everybody dies."
"We've been making cars this entire time and it's been great," he said of Tesla keeping its factory doors open in defiance of lockdown rules, which at one point prompted an irate response from Musk and even a lawsuit against Alameda County. He added that SpaceX has been fully operational throughout the pandemic thanks to its national security clearance.
"Through this entire thing, we didn't skip a day. We had national security clearance because we were doing national security work. We sent astronauts to the space station and back."Musk also took aim at Bill Gates, highlighting that his fellow billionaire's criticisms of lockdown skeptics are unfounded and misplaced in Musk's case.
"Gates said something about me not knowing what I was doing. It's like, hey, knucklehead, we actually make the vaccine machines for CureVac, that company you're invested in."Musk refered to the fact that Tesla manufacturers machines for CureVac. The entrepreneur also noted that he works closely with the Harvard epidemiology team which is currently working on Covid-19 antibody studies.

Stick your finger in it, statistics say it'll come out smelly, at the least.
Like Gates and Rockefeller his plans are dangerous to human life - we do not know wtf we are doing. How about understanding the human body and brain first before thinking we can make it better - better than God?

Thanks doctor Shill. Oops I meant Concocter Bill.
He is just a CIA strawman, brought in to destroy it. And now he is playing the SpaceX charade on their behalf.
Whatever "his" intentions are, they are not benevolent. However nice and true it might sound.
I mean, Musk and Gates are on the same team, public figures that play their role to direct the sheeple. I suppose he might "contract Covid-1984", and die dramatically, with plenty of MSM attention and coverage. Including his fake family. Dead like Epstein, you know ?
Wouldn't that convince the simpletons to line up for the shot ?
