Eccentric billionaire Elon Musk, who has quite loudly decried overreaching coronavirus restrictions during the pandemic, tweeted out this week his skepticism on COVID-19 testing after he received two positive and two negative test results on the same day.
The Western Journal notes that on Thursday evening, the SpaceX founder slammed what he thinks are “bogus” tests after his own confusing results.
“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,” he explained.

Naturally, the tweet was accompanied with a link from Twitter for anyone who wished to see what the Big Tech outlet deemed the most reliable information about the ongoing pandemic.
However, as WJ’s Kipp Jones notes, the tweet was not censored as have many from President Donald Trump raising concerns about mail-in voting or, as is the case now, questioning the results of the election.
Jones speculates that perhaps Twitter’s censors are just too busy silencing anyone sharing speculation about potential voter fraud to notice Musk’s shocking personal account.
When asked by a follower if inaccurate testing could be the reason we are seeing a spike in coronavirus cases, Musk replied that if this is what had happened to him, it’s happening to others.
If it’s happening to me, it’s happening to others. I’m getting PCR tests from separate labs. Results will take about 24 hours.

“If it’s happening to me, it’s happening to others. I’m getting PCR tests from separate labs. Results will take about 24 hours,” he explained.
Another user asked if he had any symptoms, to which he said nothing “unusual” other than the “symptoms of a typical cold.”
Symptoms of a typical cold. Nothing unusual so far.

It’s easy to ascertain that Musk is skeptical of the testing being used to track COVID rates and provide diagnoses.
However, in case anyone was in the dark, he made his cyncism perfectly clear when one follower sarcastically commented that the revenue from such tests was likely consistent.
Revenues from tests are likely not bogus & very consistent

“Revenues from tests are likely not bogus & very consistent,” the user noted.
“Exactly,” Musk replied.
Exactly

Naturally, the wealthy entrepreneur did not find such interest from members of the mainstream media, who have dedicated so much time to lecturing the American public on the power over life and death they wield by wearing masks every moment of the day and keeping their businesses shut down.
“Such an irresponsible tweet,” whined MSNBC’s Kyle Griffin.
Such an irresponsible tweet.
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) November 13, 2020
What’s crazy about Griffin’s criticism is he has no idea if Musk’s tweet is accurate or not, so how can it be irresponsible? If he had information Musk’s other Twitter followers didn’t, shouldn’t he enlighten them?
Or if he can’t verify Musk’s tests, thus being forced to accept the possibility that he’s telling the truth, wouldn’t someone who is seriously concerned about the deadliness of the virus be concerned if some tests come back as negative when the patient could, in fact, test positive?
This is because it isn’t about accuracy, it’s about narrative. While wildly conflicting throughout the course of the pandemic, coronavirus advisories from health officials are being treated like the new dogma of the progressive left, and anyone who even dares to question it is deemed a heritic.
