SpaceX founder Elon Musk stirred the pot yet again after claiming that neither he nor his family would take a COVID-19 vaccine even if it was readily available.

The 49-year-old billionaire dropped the bombshell during a Monday appearance on the New York Times opinion podcast “Sway.”

“I’m not at risk, neither are my kids,” Musk told host Kara Swisher about the rationale behind his decision. . .

Later on, the automotive mogul addressed Bill Gates’ criticisms of his skepticism toward the coronavirus, which Musk called “dumb” in March. During a CNBC interview in July, the Microsoft founder claimed that Musk didn’t know much about vaccines and said he hoped that the SpaceX head “doesn’t confuse areas he’s not involved in too much.”

“Gates said something about me not knowing what I was doing,” Musk told Swisher. “It’s like, ‘Hey, knucklehead, we actually make the vaccine machines for CureVac, that company you’re invested in.’” He was referring to the fact that Tesla manufactures equipment for the German biopharmaceutical firm CureVac.

  1. ★I get paid over $90 reliably telecommuting with 2 children at home. I never thought I’d have the decision to do it at any rate my closest accomplice increments over 10k a month doing this and she persuaded me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I’ve been doing……. Read More

  2. I see no reason for anyone who’s been exposed to take a vaccine. I see more productive benefit to sustainable methods and co-factors, like Hydroxychloroquine would have been (if the demons had not hated Trump so much).

    Coronavirus converges and mutates just like common influenza (there are so many, it’s common). it take so long to produce a flu vaccine, it’s really worthless the next year, due to mutation.

    The current flu vaccine program doesn’t do much for anyone, except waste money and time. it doesn’t stop people who get a vaccine from getting the flu.

    I don’t see a coronavirus vaccine being any different.
