Faced with the spread of the coronavirus, Elon Musk toyed with the idea of ​​making respirators (particularly in short supply in some hospitals) in Tesla factories.

Recalling the resourcefulness of these Italian volunteers, the intention is laudable, but it also highlights the contradictions of the billionaire. Indeed, she recalls that workers at the Tesla factory in Fremont (California) still have to report for work despite the health risks this implies.

Elon Musk discusses coronavirus on Twitter

To a surfer asking him if he was ready to use its factories to make respirators, necessary to treat certain Covid-19 patients, Elon Musk replied yes, if needed.

To defend himself from his inaction, he simply tweeted thatyou don't set up a respirator factory in one day. So, was it all just empty words? We will have to wait to find out.

However, the authorities of the region have issued an order to all residents to stay at health home. If on Elon Musk's Twitter had previously specified that each worker could stay at health home if he wanted to.
