Elon Musk Casts Doubt on
COVID-19 Testing After Receiving
Positive and Negative Results.
Musk took to Twitter on Thursday night
to reveal that he might have COVID-19. .
The Tesla CEO said he’d been experiencing mild
cold-like symptoms over the past few days, including
“mild sniffles," a "cough" and a "slight fever.".
However, after taking four rapid antigen
tests, two came back negative and two
came back positive for COVID-19. .
Musk, an outspoken COVID-19 skeptic,
called the mixed results “extremely bogus.”.
Something 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, Elon Musk, via Twitter.
After engaging with a number of people
on Twitter who also seemed skeptical
of testing, Musk revealed that he was
having even more testing done. .
He said that he was getting a PCR test
from two separate labs, with the results
expected in about 24 hours. .
According to the FDA, “positive results
from antigen tests are highly accurate.”.
PCR tests are even more accurate, as they
work by detecting COVID-19 on a molecular level
