The famous businessman Ilon Musk once again gave vent to his indignation over the quarantine imposed due to the coronavirus pandemic. In his opinion, the requirements imposed in the states to stay at home violate the US constitution. During an interview for a podcast, he called quarantine “essentially a violation of the constitution, freedom of assembly”.
Not so long ago, Musk has already criticized the ban on the operation of enterprises introduced in the United States, because of which both Tesla factories in the country were forced to close. At an online meeting with investors last week, he called "
However, now among the critical statements of the Mask appeared optimistic, reports BI. He is confident that in the very near future the US will begin to move towards economic recovery. “I think we are fast moving towards the opening of the country,” he said.. “It will happen very quickly in the next couple of weeks.”.
Musk also condemned the policy of the United States in introducing quarantine measures - in his opinion, this was done too aggressively. “Does civil law fit into this picture? What the government can make you do? What can they make you not do, and how right is it? " And he added: “I think we have gone too far”.
The criticism of excessive, according to Mask, quarantine measures echoes the position on this issue by US President Donald Trump, who believes that restrictions should be removed as soon as possible and that the country cannot afford to be “quarantined for 5 years”. The similarity of sentiment allowed Trump to announce recently that Musk will become one of his advisers on restarting the US economy.
As for the COVID-19 pandemic itself, Musk considers it a kind of training for the much more dangerous viruses that can spread around the world. “At some point, a high mortality pandemic may occur, something that will kill many 20-year-olds, for example,” the head of Tesla and SpaceX shared his thoughts.
In his opinion, the mortality of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is much lower than WHO estimates (according to March data, this figure was 3.4% on average worldwide).
