Elon Musk says he 'most likely' has moderate case of COVID; questions accuracy of test

Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk on Saturday said that he 'most likely' has a moderate case of COVID-19, as he continued to question accuracy of tests. This statement from Musk comes two days after he said that rapid antigen test results from same machine and same test showed that he tested positive twice and n negative twice in same day.

Musk, however, did t mention any results from PCR tests, which are usually performed in labs and are more accurate than rapid tests. In a reply to a user, Musk continued to question accuracy of tests and cited “wildly different results from different labs."

Earlier on vember 12, Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk said that he took four separate Coronavirus tests in same laboratory, on same day, and two returned negative while or two were positive. "Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today,” Musk immediately tweeted. “Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD," he ded. CEO of X was quick to point out that coronavirus tests were unreliable, as he speculated how it may have been possible for him to test negative and positive to COVID-19 at same time, referring to Becton Dickinson and Co’s speedy antigen check.

However, as per a report by Healthline, experts say current diagstic tests for new coronavirus are highly accurate, but  antibody tests are t as trustworthy. typical swab tests are 100 percent effective, and while PCR offers capacity to detect RNA in minute quantities, wher that RNA represents infectious virus may t be clear, according to scientists.
