21st<\/sup> Century Wire — Sept 30, 2020<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>Telsa and SpaceX founder Elon Musk dropped another media bomb this week, stating that neither he nor his family will be taking the experimental COVID-19 vaccine<\/a><\/span> which is being fast-tracked by governments and pharmaceutical giants. Musk added that he won\u2019t be partaking in the vaccine roll-out, even if it was readily available.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

During a press appearance on Monday<\/strong><\/span><\/a> with the New York Times opinion podcast Sway <\/em>hosted by Kara Swisher, Musk explained why he thinks the aggressive push for mass vaccinations does not really equate the actual risk posed by COVID to the population.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not at risk, neither are my kids,\u201d said the 49 year old billionaire entrepreneur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Musk slammed the government\u2019s nationwide lockdown, calling it a \u201cno-win situation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe question is what, on balance, serves the greater good,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Musk pointed out that oppressive lockdowns \u201cdiminished my faith in humanity,\u201d and did not actually stop the virus, and called the whole pandemic situation a \u201cno-win situation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Musk previously referred to quarantines<\/a><\/strong><\/span> as \u201cunethical\u201d policies which equate to \u201cde facto house arrest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than draconian lockdown laws, Musk said that government should be doing more targeted measures where those at risk could be \u201cquarantined until the storm passes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When leftwing host Swisher accused Musk of being insensitive to the possibility that humans \u2018could potentially die\u2019 if draconian lockdowns and mass vaccines weren\u2019t forced on the population, Musk replied simply, saying that, \u201cEverybody dies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

CNN<\/strong><\/span><\/a> took the opportunity to pile-on the righteous indignation, claiming that \u201cElon Musk is once again publicly downplaying the risks of Covid-19.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On the subject of Microsoft founder turned billionaire vaccine mogul, Bill Gates<\/strong>, the Telsa CEO hit back at Gates\u2019 criticisms of Musk<\/strong><\/span><\/a> where Gates accused Musk \u2018not know much about vaccines.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGates said something about me not knowing what I was doing,\u201d said Musk. \u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018Hey, knucklehead, we actually make the vaccine machines for CureVac, that company you\u2019re invested in,\u201d referring his firm Tesla getting its equipment for the German biopharmaceutical firm CureVac.<\/span><\/p>\n

In July, Musk trolled Gates with a series of cryptic tweets<\/a><\/strong><\/span> saying, \u201cBilly G is not my lover,\u201d and \u201cThe rumor that Bill Gates & I are lovers is completely untrue.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
