I think it is a mistake to assume that Elon's opinion on this is uninformed. People were dragging him and Tesla for supposedly procuring and distributing the "wrong kind" of ventilator a couple weeks ago and it turned out that the type they were sending out was the one that was delivering the best patient outcomes. Asked later he said he chose to focus on that type after talking to doctors in China about their experience. The Tesla factory in China has been open for almost 2 months now post outbreak so I imagine their experience with that informs what can be done safely and effectively at their US factory. It's ironic the number of things that Elon Musk and his companies have pulled off that many claimed were impossible and yet people's first assumption when Elon Tweets something w/o explanation is that he must be uninformed and talking out of his butt.
