Antreprenorul futurist Elon Musk și-a exprimat scepticismul cu privire la acuratețea testelor pentru coronavirus, după ce a spus că a făcut patru teste în aceeași zi şi acestea i-au dat atât rezultate pozitive, cât şi rezultate negative. Fondatorul SpaceX și Tesla a scris pe Twitter că i s-au administrat patru teste pentru virus într-un interval de 24 de ore, dar testele au dat rezultate contradictorii. „Două teste au dat rezultate negative, două, pozitive. Test rapid de antigen de la BD”, a scris Musk, potrivit RT. Totuşi, Musk nu a acordat nicio atenție criticilor și și-a exprimat scepticismul cu privire la procesul de testare.
