Speaking on the New York Times opinion podcast Sway, Musk told host Kara Swisher that he and his family would not be taking a coronavirus vaccine because he doesn't believe the virus poses a serious enough risk to their health.
“I’m not at risk, neither are my kids,” Musk said.
Musk said sweeping restrictions on movement and business enacted due to the coronavirus had “diminished" his "faith in humanity." The entrepreneur said that instead of sweeping lockdowns, governments should focus on isolating those most at risk while allowing the rest of society to continue with normal life.
Musk told Fisher that "anyone who is at risk" should be "quarantined until the storm passes." When Fisher said that some people could be more at risk if Musk's idea became a reality, Musk responded that "everybody dies."
Musk, who is now among the richest men in the world after Tesla's valuation skyrocketed to staggering new heights this summer, said billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates was a "knucklehead" for suggesting that Musk was out of his depth when discussing "areas he’s not involved in too much."
“Gates said something about me not knowing what I was doing,” Musk said. “It’s like, ‘Hey, knucklehead, we actually make the vaccine machines for CureVac, that company you’re invested in.'”

“He’s a bit off sometimes, but I like Musk.”
I’m starting to like him a little more.
DNA editing vaccines are more akin to loading software that has been infected with malware. We the consumer, only know what It says on the software packagIng. Unfortunately the malware may can wreak any havoc it has been designed to do, including staying dormant for years or decades before springing to life. It is a game changer that gives our population control obsessed leftist elites the power to do things like reduce longevity to 70 years, reduce fertility, Etc.
In the past I’ve always thought of Musk as a pretty good engineer and even better businessman / salesman, while not necessarily agreeing with his apparent political / societal views. However, on this we agree. I’m not taking any vaccine, nor will anyone in my household. We are not at risk, never have been.
And yet the reefer hasn’t made him a lazy, stupid person.
To be fair, he’s stated that he thinks he is bipolar.
He’s known to work a ridiculous amount of hours and become manic.
How many here were swilling their booze last night while watching the debate?
I guess getting drunk is acceptable and smoking weed is the Devil.
RE: He’s known to work a ridiculous amount of hours and become manic.
Reminds me of a certain president who just recently introduced a potential justice to the Supreme Court and then flew to PA for a 3 hour campaign rally and then went back to tweet in the wee hours of the morning...
These days you have to be a genius to speak common sense.
If Trump can keep it up, more power to him.
Sleep is important for all measures of health.
Carlin said it best:
‘Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.’
Amen.
Unlike Bill Clinton, he didn’t inhale. That is probably the only time in his Life that he dared to taste the Evil Weed.
Say what you will, but thanks to the Vision of Elon Musk our Space Program is back on top.
“Question -— how much of Musk’s wealth comes from government mandates and subsidies?”.
Stupid question.
Do you take tax deductions when you do your taxes? That’s a “subsidy”.
Many of us have been saying the exact same thing on this forum.

Not sure. Do know he has delivered crew capsules and rockets which not only work and return for re-use, but for about half the launch cost of previous rockets,Unlike NASA.
RE: Do you take tax deductions when you do your taxes? That’s a “subsidy”.
Isn’t this conflating SUBSIDIES with Tax BREAKS?
For example, Of the $4 billion in alleged subsidies to Big Oil, $1.7 billion derives from a domestic manufacturing tax deduction intended to keep factories in the U.S. It is available to every company, not just oil companies.
A tax break is not a public expenditure and should not be treated as such.
However, in the case of SOLYNDRA, it is a SUBSIDY. Government doles out TAX PAYER money to support and assist the company in all stages of development for the express purpose of making sure that a MARKET can be created ( even if the market isn’t there ).
So, My tax deductions are NOT subsidies. They are tax breaks.
Back to the question — What are Elon Musk’s ventures? SUBSIDIES or TAX BREAKS?
