Elon Musk
As of yesterday's stock market close, Elon Musk is the richest person in the world,

Musk's 192 Billion (and counting) is more than enough to get him to Mars.

Musk's accomplishments are legendary --- he is 49 years old.

Yes
An amazing fellow. But not immune to stupidity.


"Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for COVID four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse."

Elon Musk, Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer, has repeatedly played down the severity of coronavirus since the start of the pandemic. On Thursday, Musk said that a rapid antigen test results from the same machine and the same test showed he tested positive twice and then negative twice all on the same day. He questioned the validy of the test by suggesting "something extremely bogus is going on."

We rate Musk's claim that his test is "bogus" as misleading. Antigen tests can be completed in a matter of hours, but are less accurate and should therefore be used as a screening tool rather than a diagnostic one. Antigen tests are more likely to miss an active COVID-19 infection compared to molecular tests.

According to the FDA...

Positive results are usually highly accurate, but false positives can happen, especially in areas where very few people have the virus. Negative results may need to be confirmed with a molecular test.
PCR (polymerise chain reaction) tests take longer, but are far more accurate. PCR tests work on a molecular level and detect the virus’s genetic material.

On Saturday, Musk took to Twitter to clarify the situation surrounding his health.

“Am getting wildly different results from different labs, but most likely I have a moderate case of COVID. My symptoms are that of a minor cold, which is no surprise, since a coronavirus is a type of cold.”

Though other coronaviruses do cause types of the common cold, COVID can be far more severe. In fact, more than a million people have already died from it worldwide.

You will notice the unequal distribution of wealth. He is nearly $ 200 billion rich. Everything he touches as if turns into gold. His Tesla electric cars are selling like hot cakes. Will you tax him more or confiscate his money and distribute to the poor ? Apparently not because he is a cash cow to our nation. A lot of people get jobs from his business empire and the state also gets much more revenue.

From wiki, his concepts of socialism is quite different from what we believe :

He has described himself as a "socialist", but "not the kind that shifts resources from most productive to least productive, pretending to do good, while actually causing harm"—arguing instead, "true socialism seeks greatest good for all.

Greed motivates to earn more but greedy capitalists can become cut throat and cut corners to be more profitable. They can then destroy the competition. The state has to ensure that there is free and fair competition among the capitalists in free market society.

I only found one question in your above comment (<Will you tax him more or confiscate his money and distribute to the poor?>).

Yea. We'll tax the hell out of him, but Musk will still have ample funds left and he's already pledged to give 50% of his money to charity.
