Elon Musk says he won’t take coronavirus vaccine, calls Bill Gates a
‘knucklehead’

SpaceX founder Elon Musk stirred the pot yet again after claiming that
neither he nor his family would take a COVID-19 vaccine even if it was
readily available.

The 49-year-old billionaire dropped the bombshell during a Monday
appearance on the New York Times opinion podcast “Sway.”

“I’m not at risk, neither are my kids,” Musk told host Kara Swisher
about the rationale behind his decision.

During the bizarre exchange, the Tesla CEO decried the nationwide
lockdown as a “no-win situation” that has “diminished my faith in
humanity.” Musk previously called widespread quarantines “unethical” and
“de facto house arrest,” RT reports.

Instead of the current sweeping measures, the Boring Company boss
suggested a more targeted lockdown where “anyone who is at risk” be
“quarantined until the storm passes.”

Swisher criticized his suggestion, adding that humans could potentially
die in the process.

“Everybody dies,” quipped Musk.

To emphasize the supposed ridiculousness of the quarantines, Musk
boasted that SpaceX “didn’t skip a day” throughout the entire pandemic.
“We had national security clearance because we were doing national
security work,” he said. “We sent astronauts to the Space Station and back.”

Later on, the automotive mogul addressed Bill Gates’ criticisms of his
skepticism toward the coronavirus, which Musk called “dumb” in March.
During a CNBC interview in July, the Microsoft founder claimed that Musk
didn’t know much about vaccines and said he hoped that the SpaceX head
“doesn’t confuse areas he’s not involved in too much.”

“Gates said something about me not knowing what I was doing,” Musk told
Swisher. “It’s like, ‘Hey, knucklehead, we actually make the vaccine
machines for CureVac, that company you’re invested in.'” He was
referring to the fact that Tesla manufactures equipment for the German
biopharmaceutical firm CureVac.

This past July, the car magnate shaded Gates with a series of cryptic
tweets that read, “Billy G is not my lover” and “The rumor that Bill
Gates & I are lovers is completely untrue.”

I also hear that Bill Gates refuses to vaccinate his children. Did you hear
that?

The golden rule with food - if it smells strange from the fridge then throw
it in the bin. With Christianity, if it sounds strange and it's from the
Bible then you must embrace it as the word of God.

A question to all Christians: Was the Bible inspired or dictated? Because if
it was just inspired then it can't be called God's word.

I have. If it's true, would you drink from a cup the person offering it
to you won't drink from himself? It reminds me of a survey I once heard
about that found most oncologists wouldn't take chemo or radiation
therapy if they were diagnosed with cancer.
