The TV Movie Archivesworld stands transfixed by possible disaster and Elon Musk is here to offer his unsolicited opinion.

Calling to mind the infamous submarine stunt, the entitled billionaire chose today to lecture us all on a subject matter decidedly outside of his expertise. Yes, Musk weighed in on the coronavirus.

It's also worth noting, again, that Musk is neither an epidemiologist nor an infectious disease expert.

We'd imagine, however, that he is quite knowledgeable about his company Tesla. Speaking of which, Tesla's supply chain got screwed up and the company blamed the coronavirus. Huh, how about that.
