Billionaire and Tesla CEOElon Muskhas contracted COVID-19 for the second time.
On Monday, the entrepreneurtweetedhe was “supposedly” diagnosed with the virus and revealed details on his relatively good condition.
“Covid-19 is the virus of Theseus. How many gene changes before it’s not Covid-19 anymore? I supposedly have it again (sigh), but almost no symptoms,” wrote the business magnate and SpaceX CEO.
In 2020 Musk opened up about testing positive for COVID-19 and was forced to quarantine amid a much-anticipated SpaceX astronaut launch to the International Space Station, according toCNN Business.
Musk — who is the richest person in the world with a net worth of $288.7 million as of Monday, according toForbes— previously disclosed in a December 2021 interview withTimethat he was vaccinated and called the science behind immunizations “unequivocal” while stating his opposition to vaccine mandates.
“You are taking a risk, but people do risky things all the time,” he said of unvaccinated people, perTime. “I believe we’ve got to watch out for the erosion of freedom in America.”
