Musk said Monday that he appears to have caught Covid-19 again.
The CEO of the two companies asked how many genes would change before it was not COVID-19.
Musk did not say if he had taken a test to confirm his illness.
He said in November 2020 that he had a positive COVID-19 test. He criticized public health measures aimed at preventing the spread of the coronaviruses, promoting misinformation about COVID-19, and casting doubt on the effectiveness of vaccines.
The coronaviruses panic is dumb, according to Musk.
He sent employees back to work in defiance of local shelter-in-place orders, which he described as fascist and forcible imprisoning.
In a December 2021 interview with Time, Musk said that he and his family werevaccinated because of the science.
He said in September 2020 that he and his family wouldn't get vaccine because they weren't at risk.
It is not known if Musk received a vaccine before or after he received a positive COVID-19 test.
Even if you have a different variant of COVID-19, it is possible to get it multiple times. This is because the shape of the virus is altered so that disease-fighting antibodies from a previous infection or a vaccine response can't bind onto it to help fight it off.
Musk failed a test in November 2020 and was unable to attend a launch. He said he had amild sniffles, a cough, and amild fever.
There may have been undetected cases in the US before the CDC reported the first US case of the Omicron variant.
The alpha variant was labeled a variant of concern by the CDC. It is almost certain that alpha was undetected in the US before that date.
Insider was told by disease experts that it is not common to re-invade Omicron.
