Entire human race? Only risk groups, how big they may be. Calling it human race is about too far for this virus.
thoushaltnotpass
Said the guy who thinks the US will be coronavirus-free in 40 days.
nitsujcm
The entire human race: low percentage of those over 65 is the entire human race?
WayneBruceWayne
I feel like this is the worst meme format for this, considering Elon is telling his workers to work no matter what
ZAPZAPMOTHAFUCKA
So for real: the whole human race isn't at risk, and the economy has already started collapsing. At this point we're trying to minimize
The impact on the healthcare system and reduce the number affected by the virus. It's not going to kill everyone.
Arcian
Them: "You need to self-isolate!" Me having self-isolated since I was 15: "S-sure."
asmallcat
Funny using a guy for this meme who is making his employees violate the county rules cause he thinks making cars is essential.
princessvaliant
He isn’t making them. He said he would be working and if they’d like, they can, but not to if they’re sick or uncomfortable with doing so.

Did he say more than that? If all he said is the panic is dumb... Yeah. Tp shortages and panic induced bs is DUMB.
Quarantine and such are important. PANIC is dumb.

Weird that you chose the guy who called this "the common cold", pressured the government into letting him keep his factory open and
encouraged his employees to work through it.

“The entire human race” is far beyond hyperbole. Also, Ole Musky is not the best face for a corona virus awareness post.
sirinigo
Umm, 2-weeks maybe?
nxrble
12 or more or it’s for nothing
Emracruel
Not for nothing. The whole point of this is to slow the spread of infection. Not stop it (that is unrealistic).
DidNoOneNoticeThis
Yes. And if you don't slow it for long enough a quarantine was pointless. Letting everyone out in 2 weeks just makes the bump happen then.
I fully understand then, but the hope is that the bump has been delayed/slowed because people that were exposed now know it. Families 1/2
Of those infected that didn't know 2 weeks before can now quarantine, instead of spreading the virus. 2 weeks is far better than no weeks

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1236029449042198528?s=21
It's almost like he's a snake oil salesman like every other billionaire with government support.
He's overly ambitious in his promises regarding timelines, but putting him next to magic watergatherers and Weight losd pills is a bit much
GirthBrookss
Ya how dare he sell and popularize those useless electric cars that are clearly scams /s
RayMC
Lmao what is even remotely “snake oil” about what he sells? Anything that may seem over-promising (ie Mars) isn’t a product yet.
khora
Did he say the virus is BS or that the reaction to it will be more harmful than the virus itself?
He did not say it was BS.
Kodaxmax
it was literally something along the lines of "the coronavirus is dumb" on twitter. As a TSLA investor i wish his interns would take away hi
I’d seen several doctors angrily say the same exact thing during the week we did.
his twitter access
lykwo
Yeah, some person who just started, who works for next to nothing, taking away something for the billionaire owner.
im don't feel like explaining humor to you
He literally called it "the common cold" and downplayed its severity while encouraging workers to go to work through it.
“Nevertheless, as mentioned above, please do not feel obligated to come to work if this is causing you any concern”
And literally the next line is "I will personally be at work, but that is just me." That's him making it clear he expects you at work but
“I’d rather you were at home and not stressed, than at work and worried.”
easytigger
And then fucked off on his private jet, AWAY from the factory. https://twitter.com/evdefender/status/1240345334020288521
was just covering his ass with the previous line.

By this logic everyone should stop complaining about anything at all in case their situation upsets someone.
In a time of crisis? When literally everyone is stressed out? Yes.
No

According to the ceo so is GameStop
KartFnocker
in case anyone didn't know, he forced his employees to keep coming into the Tesla factory despite the 'shelter in place' order earlier
TheWhiteBarry
"forced" ok sure. The memo said make your own decision. Did any of you even read it?
if the state/scientific/health advice all say shut it down, you don't get to defer to your employees making their own decisions
That's your opinion. Not to be confused with the "fact" you presented that was factually incorrect
ok

Auto industry was declared essential business, from what I was told by our boss. I'm in auto industry, were still working.

Aerospace industry. Same (we have defense contracts and such)
s1983kett
Not so in Germany... Volkswagen and BMW shut down.
Huh, I work for BMW in the states...
mrlemonofbanana
Production was shut down, everything else continues, but mostly from home.
Of course Musk and factory bosses want to be essential business, they sure don't fit the definition of the orders I'm seeing, though
Not as far as production, unless their argument is to keep jobs open and working. People dont need to buy a car if they stay home...
yea, I can see repair for sure, but a luxury producer like Tesla? No way
first of all he doesn't make those decisions, 2nd americas tesla sites did let most of it's staff go home. many chose not to
he's the boss, no...? Who else has ultimate responsibility for those decisions
he is a CEO of tesla among other companies. He could stoop to manage legal and staffing, but i imagine he has better things to do.
this doesn't hold very much water when he's been on twitter downplaying the virus
