You mean “claiming to help, failing to help, then taking credit for any minor wins you had nothing to do with”? Ah yes, the Elon Musk way...

Yeah using his own money to buy medical equipment. "Fuck you asshole that is not the perfect equipment" There are tons of tweets from doctors who are happy to get that stuff, but clearly fuck those asshole doctors. They should spit in his face and demand higher quality products.

  If by "own money" you mean Tesla money, which is he using to burnish his own public image. And the point isn't that the equipment isn't perfect. The point is that these large devices are (a) limited to single-patient use and (b) aren't the kind of ventilators used to treat the breathing complications created by COVID19. (CPAP machines are a much simpler form of ventilator.)

    Thank god that you know better then the doctors from the hospital. Be sure to go and tell them they are idiots.

      Beating a dead horse here, but the "ventilators" that Elon Musk bought were 5-year old discontinued models that aren't even made any more. Moreover, these CPAP machines (technically BiPAP) are now suspected to be the reason for the extremely high fatality rate in Washington. In order to use these for COVID19 patients, medical facilities first need to make substantial modifications (such as adding filtering mechanisms). So, not only do I stand by my initial comments, but it is the opinion of multiple medical experts with actual experience treating COVID19 patients that these machines are actually be harmful to use in a clinical situation without substantial modifications requiring resources the hospitals don't have. https://khn.org/news/covid19-ventilator-shortage-substituting-cpaps-could-spread-coronavirus/ https://khn.org/news/covid19-ventilator-shortage-substitutin...
