Tesla CEO, Elon Musk tweeted late Thursday that he had “symptoms of a typical cold” and had tested positive twice for COVID-19 and negative twice
“Am getting PCR tests from separate labs. Results will take about 24 hours,” he said.
A PCR is a gold-standard test for COVID-19 Musk’s initial tests were rapid antigen tests, which the Food and Drug Administration says have a “higher chance of false negatives.”
Musk claimed that “something extremely bogus is going on” seemingly not understanding he needs to wait for the PCR for a definitive result.
Musk has repeatedly dismissed the severity of the coronavirus, and spread misinformation about COVID-19.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Thursday said he had tested both positive and negative for the virus on the same day.
In a tweet, Musk said he took the tests after displaying cold symptoms. “Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse,” he said.
The billionaire said he took a “rapid antigen test from BD,” most likely referring to Becton Dickinson and Co’s rapid antigen test , which shows results in 15 minutes.
