NEW YORK (US) – Even as Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk continued to question the accuracy of the tests, he said on Saturday that he “most likely” has a moderate case of COVID-19.
Musk wrote in a tweet, “Am getting wildly different results from different labs, but most likely I have a moderate case of covid. My symptoms are that of a minor cold, which is no surprise, since a coronavirus is a type of cold.”
He did not mention whether the results came from polymerase chain reaction tests, found to be more accurate than rapid tests.
The Tesla CEO wrote in reply to a user asking about symptoms, “A little up & down. Feels just like a regular cold, but more body achy & cloudy head than coughing/sneezing.”
Questions about COVID has been thrown at him, due to his presence at the weekend launch of four NASA astronauts into orbit aboard his SpaceX company’s spacecraft.
