#5  EM migrated to Canada to avoid conscription in the kakvlek communist SANDF. More importantly though, his views on COVID have failed to fit the gov't narrative. Can I get an Amen ?

Forbes - TIMELINE

March 6, 2020 As worldwide Covid-19 cases topped 100,000 and deaths exceeded 3,000, Musk tweeted, “the coronavirus panic is dumb.”

March 19, 2020 The United States reported just under 2,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day, but Musk predicted the country was headed toward “zero new cases” by the end of April (by Musk’s deadline, daily case counts had topped 20,000).

March 19, 2020 Musk insisted “kids are essentially immune” to the coronavirus, despite research that children can contract the virus and get sick from it.

May 9, 2020 After local rules in Alameda County, Calif., forced Tesla to shut down its assembly line, Musk vowed to sue the county (Tesla filed a federal lawsuit that day, but the company voluntarily dropped the suit less than two weeks later).

May 11, 2020 Musk said Tesla’s assembly line in the Bay Area would reopen immediately, violating local public health rules and surprising California Gov. Gavin Newsom: “If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me,” Musk tweeted.

Sept. 28, 2020 Musk told the New York Times’ Kara Swisher he won’t take a Covid-19 vaccine once it’s available, arguing he and his kids are not at risk, and he asserted the virus (which has killed more than 2.6 million people worldwide) has a low mortality rate.

March 12, 2021 Musk appeared to question whether it’s safe to get the second shot of a coronavirus vaccine, citing “quite a few negative reactions.”
