According to the eccentric billionaire, he took a test four times in one day and got two different results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomething extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD,\u201d Musk tweeted on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding whether false positives could be contributing to the major spike in cases, Musk said, \u201cIf it\u2019s happening to me, it\u2019s happening to others. I\u2019m getting PCR tests from separate labs. Results will take about 24 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he was feeling any symptoms, the Tesla founder said they were minor, like that of a common cold and not much else. Dr. Eugene Gu tried to offer up his own explanation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt matters what order you received those results. If you had the first two tests come back negative earlier in the day and then the last two tests come back positive later in the day, then it could mean you passed the threshold for detecting the coronavirus as they replicated,\u201d Gu <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eugenegu\/status\/1327154125272985605?s=20\">tweeted<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Musk\u2019s questioning about the efficacy of COVID-19 tests comes just several months after he rocked the halls of the Twitterverse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-cancel-cancel-culture\">when he said<\/a>\u00a0\u201ctake the red pill\u201d and \u201ccancel cancel culture\u201d with no further clarification.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his infamous \u201cred pill\u201d tweet, Musk had been\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-pushes-reopening-in-series-of-tweets-free-america-now\">urging governors<\/a>\u00a0to reopen the economy and even went as far to call the lockdown orders \u201cfascist.\u201d On Friday, Musk also tweeted that he opposes another round of economic stimulus while expressing his support for Universal Basic Income (UBI).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a reminder, I\u2019m in *favor* of universal basic income,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/elon-musk-another-government-stimulus-package-is-not-in-the-best-interests-of-the-people-2020-07-24\">he tweeted<\/a>. \u201cGoal of government should be to maximize the happiness of the people. Giving each person money allows them to decide what meets their needs, rather than the blunt tool of legislation, which creates self-serving special interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother government stimulus package is not in the best interests of the people imo,\u201d he continued. \u201cThese are jammed to gills with special interests earmarks. If we do a stimulus at all, it should just be direct payments to consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though it\u2019s doubtful that Musk will ever be a friend to conservatives, it is fair to note that he has always marched to his own drumbeat and has never conformed to lockstep Silicon Valley leftism.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, as billionaires like Bill Gates and others were actively pushing population control measures to help with climate change, typically in poor African countries, Musk went against the grain and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/elon-musk-reiterates-global-population-is-headed-for-collapse-2019-6\">said the world actually needs more people<\/a>\u00a0on the planet, not less.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world\u2019s population is accelerating towards collapse, but few seem to notice or care,\u201d he tweeted in 2017 in response to a New Scientist article about a \u201cpopulation bomb\u201d going off in 2076.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReal issue will [be] an aging &amp; declining world population by 2050, *not* overpopulation,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1141977875567919104?s=20\">he tweeted<\/a>\u00a0in 2019. \u201cDemographics, stratified by age, will look like an upside down pyramid with many old people &amp; fewer young.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musks-partner-grimes-publicly-scolds-him-after-he-tweets-pronouns-suck\">Elon Musk\u2019s Partner Grimes Publicly Scolds Him After He Tweets \u2018Pronouns\u00a0Suck\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
