Didn't Tesla deliver new emergency ventilators?

  I understand they purchased and supplied a cache of existing CPAP machines, which are neither useless nor newly manufactured ventilators.

  You mean this? https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-tesla-ventilators-coronavirus-covid19-resmed-bipap-machines-1495927 https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-tesla-ventilators-coronav... > But as noted by NPR, The American Society of Anesthesiologists warned in guidance published on February 23 that BiPAP machines may actually "increase the risk of infectious transmission." Experts have said the non-invasive devices can let air escape, resulting in potential virus spread.

    They might slightly increase the already high level of transmission in the covid wing of the hospital, but the point is that they save the life of the person they are ventilating. I'm always surprised at the degree to which people will take a good deed and twist it make it seem wrong or ineffective. Why? Is it a general hatred for Musk? ...or something more general? A hatred of successful people? Or a hatred of wealthy people? Why the irrational bias?
