Elon Musk has revealed he will not get a coronavirus vaccine when they're available because he's 'not at risk' and defends keeping his Tesla factories up and running amid the pandemic.
The 49-year-old tech giant defended opening up Tesla factories in defiance of lockdowns - a lengthy saga that has seen him sue Alameda County, launch a profanity-laden rant about how lockdowns are 'unethical' and allegedly fire employees who didn't feel safe enough to return to work.
The Tesla and SpaceX founder said Monday in an interview with Kara Swisher on the New York Times' podcast Sway that even when vaccines are readily accessible, he won't take one.

Unlike most of the SV tech moguls he’s not nor does he play at being a megaSJW. At least not that I’ve heard. This puts him far ahead of the others in my book.
Verizon? Wtf?
I am sure Musk believed that Americans would STAND UP to the tyranny and NOT be sheep!! I myself was very surprised at business owners BUT more so at churches and pastors!!! I was so disappointed to see just how easy it was for the government to take our rights away with NO FIGHT what so ever!!
I’m no envirowacko but EVs are the future. Probably sooner rather than later.
Chicoms? What about Fauci?
Agreed
Many, many churches have “keep it quiet” underground services. Where I live, everyone knows but no one complains. Some people will complain about open businesses but this is often competitors.
people so willingly wearing masks kind of reminds me of the Jews getting on the trains to the concentration camps, hell , I have to wear one to buy anything or work, so I would probably be getting on the train for Auschwitz myself
On the positive side maybe all the billions going to biotech will do some good, after all they did cure HepC
Not sure I’ve ever seen anyone vasillate between conservative and liberal so freely...9am he could be a liberal, and by noon, a well-reasoned conservative. What a head case.
Musk is one of the major geniuses and businessmen of the last 50 years. Maybe longer. He’s turned space upside down and I know people here hate it, but electric cars are the future sooner or later because of him. When his $25k electric car comes out in a few years, it’ll be game over for ICE in a few decades.
This Elon Musk, this one I likey.
His real risk, by making these public comments, his real risk is getting booted from the Tech Punks Mega-Billionaires club.
I’ll pray he boots himself outta there and lands safely among the humanity he can be proud to be part of.
The 21st Century will be remembered for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Right. I can’t wait to use an electric truck to haul lumber up a mountainside.
Are they going to use EVs to dig all the lithium, nickel, and associated elements to produce all these batteries.
What will the factories run on?
Who is going to pay for all of the electrical distribution infrastructure costs?
What is going to generate the electricity for the massive increase in demand?
He has stated that he thinks he is bipolar.
He was on Joe Rogan’s podcast smoking weed, drinking whisky, and shooting a flamethrower.
I’d love to meet him & chat for a while.
Same here. If the irrational scared Karen’s develop soem form of PTSD from seeing a unmasked person walking a dog I won’t feel vary sorry for them in the future when they get scared of going to a movie, restaurant, etc. and see people having a good time.
A church that would pressure people to be vaccinated -- and certainly any church that would kick its parishoners out for NOT getting vaccinated -- should be avoided like the plague.
Yours sounds like they understand the voice of reason. Way too few of those in these days and times. Good on them.
Maybe, but it’s still stupid.
Besides, there is Hydroxychloroquine.
“When his $25k electric car comes out in a few years, it’ll be game over for ICE in a few decades.”
Electric cars will be the end of freedom. They will be driverless (ie controlled by Google) and they will guarantee that some IT person will have a say on where I go and when.
