Tesla CEO refuses to get COVID-19 vaccine

Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla, who opposed the coronavirus's restrictions, refused to be vaccinated after the drug became available, Report says, referring to The Daily Star.

The businessman explained his decision because he and his family do not belong to the risk group. When one of the journalists reminded the entrepreneur that the number of deaths from the virus could increase, Musk said that everyone is dying: "All this (epidemic situation-ed.) has reduced my confidence in humanity due to the irrationality of people in general." 

In early March, the head of SpaceX and Tesla called the agitation over COVID-19 "stupid". The words shared by him on Twitter surprised some users.

Mask became the third richest man on the planet in late August. According to experts, on August 31, the businessman's fortune exceeded $ 111.3 billion.

The first place still belongs to the head of Amazon, Jeff Bezos. His wealth is estimated at $ 200 billion.
