Elon Musk says he and his family won't get a coronavirus vaccine when it becomes available

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his family aren't planning to get a COVID-19 vaccine when one becomes available, he told The New York Times' Kara Swisher in an episode of the podcastMusk said that he believes he and his kids aren't at risk of contracting the coronavirus and therefore have no plans to be vaccinated against the virus. There is no evidence Musk and his family are any less susceptible to the highly contagious virus that has so far killed more than 200,000 Americans of all ages.

Musk has been outspoken about the coronavirus crisis since the outset and has frequently disputed both the data around the virus as well as the government's response to it, particularly stay-at-home orders. Research has found that sweeping stay-at-home orders enacted between March and May may have prevented millions of infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths in the US.Musk discussed his feelings about the virus ona podcast hosted by The New York Times' Kara Swisher, published Monday. During their conversation, Swisher asked the Tesla CEO whether he or his family would get a COVID-19 vaccine once one becomes available.

elonmusk, I hope you will reconsider vaccination of your children

You Rock Mr. elonmusk 🌟❤️🌟 !!!!

Alot of people wont.

STATES ARE GONNA HAVE TO STEP IN, SO PEOPLE WHO’RE NOT UP FOR THIS COOL-AID CAN MOVE. WE CAN’T HAVE CHEMICAL SLAVERY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS OF POLICING! AND SO DOES THE MOSQUITO KISSHYPE. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!! THE SILENT MAJORITY IS WITH ELON. PROLONG LIFE INSTEAD

Kagiso64871247 The THIEVES 0.000001% won't take the vaccine to die. It's mandated for the 99,999999% brainwashed slaves to have the vaccine to die. DEPOPULATE TO 500,000,000 WORLD WIDE FROM 7,5 billion. BRAINWASHED SLAVES WAKE UP AND OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.

Because he knows what will be hiden in that vaccine. BG has not vaccinated his kids. It explains a lot.

SizweLo I'm sure he would, if vaccines had to be tested thoroughly and if the companies who make them were not exempt from liability.

How can you consider voting some someone who has exited the Paris agreement and rolled back so many environmental protection laws. Any who also promotes coal powered electricity - One of the dirtiest forms of power

He is businessmen has highest interest in China 🇨🇳 so he obviously down play to be more safer with his investments

Great. Stay away from the rest of us then.

Except maybe he got a BCG shot in his youth ,

Of course not...🙄...me neither...

emmakennytv I’m glad he won’t but probably unlike many people Elon will have a choice. He’s rich enough to buy his way out of any mandates and get around any restrictions. The plebs will have the rushed, dangerous and unnecessary vaccine pushed on them.

Hemsedalgirl

emmakennytv Speaks volumes

emmakennytv funny that... bet Bill Gates won't be letting his little darlings get the jab either!

Hopefully Grimes puts some sense into him

Neither will I until I know it is not Tainted with any new virus killers.

C'est comme çà quand tout le monde avance masqué.😀

Makes sense, this vaccine hasn't been tested for years since it's new, people are probably going to drop dead from the vaccine since no one knows the long term effects.

as we can see, no one is immune to stupidity

lowcholesterols 🤔Just like a game of chess let your pawns go first and see what affect happens to them!😬Run for your lives vaccine turned them into zombies!

🤔🤔 and why is that

Let’s face it – considering his lifestyle (he meets tons of people every day) he has already been sick or will most definitely contract the virus by the time the vaccine is out. Yes – we are not sure, whether you can be ill twice, but there’s a good chance you can’t.

Well well well

You are the majority , Elon

That's the African in him saying that...

He won't need it when he goes back to Mars

AlyaaGad

Same

He must have watched this video. Very imformative.

And this is the guy we are pinning our hopes to get to Mars? We are doomed.

Get fucced sideways averyhartmans

ada orang yg harus kesandung dulu baru belajar jalan bener, mgkn dia ato salah satu keluarga nya mesti kena dulu baru mudeng, all the best elonmusk

👍🏻

MMMM, this give us all hope! Hope that he learns like Steve Job learned, he's not smarter then everybody after all.

Yikes. Full on red pilled and now likely a Q follower. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Wow finally some common sense !!!

First thing I agree with him on!!

That is his business. My entire family and I will take it!

RepublicSaving

Does that mean he is confident he will leave for Mars with his family before the vaccine is out?

Interesting 🧐

Smart. A vaccine developed in record time to satisfy political overlords is bound to evoke cynicism.

And he’s right because it’s a pointless vaccine. Survival rate is well over 99.6%! Screw these pharmaceutical companies. They don’t care about health, only profits!

ElonMusk knows what the vaccine is gonna do..... he saw the test videos....here, check it out.... LOL $TSLA

By the time it’s offered to us peons it will have been tested on millions of “deserving “ people. I’ll be just trying to avoid the virus.

neither will mine! We practise what they preach.

I love Elon, but as far as Covid 19 is concerned, let's just agree to disagree

I wouldn’t like to get one too...

We will have about 10% of the populace that won't vaccinate for varied reasons. I for one will likely get one or two of the varied formulas pushed out into me ASAP. I'm not especially at HIGH RISK, but being over 60 is a FACTOR so better safe than sorry.

Ok okay okay !!!!

hhhhhhhhhhhh

This is nothing to do with safety or efficacy, he can't admit that he was dead wrong.

He haz muneez sew I lissin 2 him abowt docter thingz! Sometimes there’s more value in reserving an opinion, he said valuelessly offering an opinion.

If it's not about spaceships or cars, his opinions are pretty irrelevant to me.

SupAyaLaya I’d be surprised if they will.🤣🤣🤣

dmlayden

I said that drom day one!!

EM had a reactor installed in his chest just like iron man.

The big Coronavirus vaccine rush. Wait & see what happens to the guinea pigs. Viruses mutate it will be as successful as the flu jab.

He's probably aware that the most important actions one can take are to keep your hands clean and not touch your face. The ACE2 receptors through which the virus enters your cells are very common in your nose, eyes, and mouth. 🦠🧼🙌🏻🧤😎

smartest man on the planet.

Smart man

Only gives the notion that the vaccine is unreliable and ineffective -- so, wait out for the effects of it FIRST before getting one. COVID19 health jessedomingo pandemic coronavirus

big whoop

Brilliant but stupid. Unfollow elonmusk

Well at least he’s got a proven track record we can trust

JohnBasham Why would anyone take a vaccine for a disease that you have a 99.99% chance of surviving? Might as well take a vaccine for that pimple on your ass while you’re at it.

same bro

Oh boy

The latest vaccine trial i read about gave ine participant MS, and another a disease I cant even pronounce.

Okay...so...what does he know?

Probably knows what we don’t know or maybe just some conspiracy theory propagandist

Why should anyone care? Just because he’s rich and famous doesn’t mean that his opinion is more valuable. Americans need to quit looking to these people for decisions they make about healthcare, voting, parenting, life in general. They live in a bubble

SanaInz

JohnBasham MeNeither

JohnBasham Neither will mine.

That’s because Musk already has an implanted Neuralink, which cures all illnesses. Amirite?

He literally implies in the article that he is rich enough to maintain extreme distance from the peasants. Not that the vaccine doesn't work.

Let the poor be the Guinea pigs

TrabajarEuropa You are not helping Elon

I am staying clear of anything Trumps had is grubby little paws on. indebtdonny

Me neither.

Viva antivaxers

Yeah unless it comes out in a few years due to testing, neither should anyone

Same

Anything to get some attention

He’s right.

That is completely rational, and absolute blasphemy in the modern west. Who the hell wants a rushed vaccine for a disease that is constantly mutating? People don’t even know how long immunity will last for.

He knows whats in it..

elonmusk please stay safe, we need you

elon a man of science does not trust trump era science

Because he knows what It does to the brain.
