"I
supposedly have it again (sigh), but almost no symptoms," Musk
said in a tweet https://bit.ly/3tJ1yU4.
He questioned the accuracy of COVID-19 tests in November 2020
after claiming that results showed he tested positive twice and
then negative twice all on the same day. (https://reut.rs/3wGbeRl)
Musk then said he "most likely" had a moderate case of COVID-19,
as he continued to question the accuracy of the tests. He did
not mention whether the results were from polymerase chain
reaction tests, which are more accurate than rapid tests.
Musk was recently seen dancing and joking with fans as he
oversaw the handover of Tesla's first German-made cars at its
Gruenhide plant in Germany last week.
Separately, Tesla's Shanghai factory will be closed for four
days after the city said it would go into a lockdown for nine
days to test residents for COVID-19, as cases surge in China.
The plant is key to Tesla's exports and delivered more than
56,000 cars in February, or more than 2,000 cars a day.
Tesla has hiked prices of its cars in the recent past, citing
inflationary pressures, and has said it would not launch new
models this year due to supply-chain headwinds.
