Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that he tested for coronavirus four times in one day, out of which two COVID-19 tests came back positive while the other two came back negative. He even called the tests 'bogus', casting aspersions on the World Health Organisation (WHO) approved COVID-19 testing procedures.
"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. Rapid antigen test from BD," Elon Musk tweeted.
Earlier, the noted tech billionaire said that he would not take the COVID-19 vaccine when it will be made available to people across the world.
In an interview on the New York Times` podcast "Sway" published in September, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO slammed the widespread restrictions imposed across the US to deal with the pandemic.
When podcast host Kara Swisher asked "Will you get a vaccine? What will you do with your own family?" Musk said, "No, I`m not at risk for COVID. Nor are my kids."
He said that it was a huge mistake to impose sweeping lockdowns.
"I mean this is a hot button issue where rationality takes a back seat. In the grand scheme of things what we have is something with a very low mortality rate and high contagion," he said.
"Essentially the right thing to do would be to not have done a lockdown for the whole country but to have anyone who is at risk quarantine until the storm passes," he added.
Talking about the public response to the pandemic, Musk said that his faith in humanity diminished due to the "irrationality of people in general."
