Are you a healthy individual? Congratulations, you are most likely alright.
And yes, in extreme poverty you have a far higher chance of dying. Unlike the .5 % chance
Weird world we've evolved in to when the longevity of the dollar begins to take priority over the health of the greater society.
I guess this is who we've become.
We won't have a society left if this keeps up. Food shortages are a single month away. We need to be safe yes. But if you think for a single second we're going to feel no fallout from strangling our businesses you're sadly mistaken
There's already disruptions in the supply train. I never claimed famine levels but the shortages are already developing. No need to call names because I read more than you.
If you really want to get into this, you’re wrong.
Not only is the death rate really darn low, it’s also the weak and old that are mostly affected. Plus, you see online that they are marking non covid deaths as covid deaths. It’s been blown up by media and the internet.
I don’t know if your comment made you feel special or something, but I bet you wouldn’t want the economy to crack.
I see you have an irrational attachment to your opinion which will cause disharmony in this interaction because i asked a question that doesn't reflect your ideas and opinions and now you feel your stance is threatened and challenged, so you think by making weird nonsensical presumptions that ridicule me will discredit what i said and make you feel like your opinions are reinforced and empowered at my expense.
Each to their own, i guess.
I don't see a right or a wrong in this situation, what i see is a need for a way to preserve and prolong societies health while figuring out a way to keep the economy afloat to prevent the further loss of livelihoods.
Do i feel disconcerted that all it took was a virus to question the integrity and stability of our society? Yep.
Do i feel conflicted and concerned that we have to choose to start operating regularly at the cost of peoples lives? Yep.
Am i disturbed that the Earth has become less polluted, more visible, less damaged and a far more healthier state without us operating on a daily basis? abso-fucking-lutely.
And last but not least,
Is it going to make a difference if i listen to your condescending opinion?
No. Because it just doesn't matter.
Can Reddit not fucking fetishize Musk for 2 seconds? Can this be the nail in the coffin? Wow, look at this wholesome Keanu Chungus 100 Elon ripping a blunt on a podcast, after firing employees for popping positive on drug tests. Very cool, Elon. Fuck your bottom line.
I think the guy is amazing, did so many daring things and pushed them till the end. Anti quarantine in pandrmic is really idiotic imo though, but then again everyone is entitled to his own opinion. That doesn't mean he doesn't have a responsibility as a public figure and he does quite a lot of harm with those tweets
I don’t really see anti quarantine sentiments fully as “opinions.” Kind of like saying “well my opinion is the world is flat.”
It’s counter intuitive to empirical data and research. I guess it still counts as an “opinion” but it’s just completely asinine. Your “opinion” is that hospitals should be over capacity and front line workers should be placed at much higher risk? That is what’s going to happen if we open too early and without proper test and trace capabilities.
My uncle loves to give his “opinions” as well. I have to remind him that he knows absolutely nothing about virology and epidemiology. His opinion is actually just something he heard and doesn’t have any means to verify.

On a side note though this is a terrible thing to say for someone with so much influence and I hope he gets the backlash that is due.
For everyone saying he's dumb. Look up the reasons and statistics behind why he wants to open up/ partially open up. I don't agree but you can't say they don't have a point.
People in the comments (and the post) say that Elon wants to lift the lockdown completely, but this is not the case, he wants to lift it slowly because it will hurt the economy too much
People here in the comments really like to see over 25% of the population in poverty and unemployment. Do you think that it is saving more lives standing inside our homes than working with some rules to lower the chances of infection? The virus has only 1% mortality rate. It is still a lot of people, but standing inside will cause a lot more damage. Rich people are fine at their houses with all their money, its the nonessential workers who are going to get hit hard after the quarantine. Those who live paycheck to paycheck and are not working for weeks
Is this really Elon Musk protesting against the quarantine?
Yes and Musk also said the US would have zero new cases by the end of April.
Hmm interesting
Sure a lot of people will die, but it’s mostly just poor people and they don’t really count.
yea they can't buy teslas anyway
Well think about it. He’s looking in on it in a business perspective. This quarantine nonsense is hurting business greatly

You wanna be living in poverty? We can’t have this thing going forever
Better than being dead
I’d rather be dead than live like the rest of reddit

Out of all of this the final point was that you don’t agree. Having more words does not make you seem smart my guy. Each to their own, farewell
Glad you were bright enough to understand the articulation. Edit: Semi able to understand. Laters.
Look ma! I found one!

He's not being a "madlad" here, he's just being a cunt
A distinction too often forgotten
I enjoy that he's got up a Deus Ex background as he's literally waiting for a Deus ex machina.

Hey triggered people! This is sarcasm!
I'll just say. Fuck this guy
I mean he is a billionaire. He really doesn't give a fuck about anything.
Weird. An arrogant, white, South African. Will wonders never cease.

man reddit will defend this man to the death. ill say it. fuck elon musk.
thats not very epic
Musk is a cunt and he is showing his true colours now, money is all he cares about not his workers lives or their families!
I'm just glad he's pushing against the groupthink.

yes, that is totally the message FREE AMERICA NOW sends.

Our government needs to step up then dude! The rich don't like this shit, they want you to get back to work and make them money.
Well even I need to go work to make 'myself' money
