CEO of SpaceX Elon Musk has revealed that he’s tested positive and negative for Covid-19, twice. The 49-year-old South African born billionaire tweeted the news through his official Twitter account late on Thursday, 12 November. According to Musk, he experienced symptoms of the common cold and had tested positive twice for the virus and then tested negative twice. So altogether, Musk had four Covid-19 tests done by the same nurse using the same method.
Musk referred to the testing situation as being “bogus.” Not only was it the same nurse who did the testing, but the same machine. Twitter users took to his replies section to question the validity of Covid-19 tests.
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.

A Twitter user posed a question to Musk regarding the spike in Covid-19 cases:
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.
