I know every politician, newsreader and commentator wouldn't ever talk about the data without prefacing with words like 'sadly' and 'every death is a tragedy' etc. but Coronavirus is pretty trivial and it won't be allowed to get in the way of American business for long. It's not as if it's Ebola and when the President is actively encouraging this sort of action there should be no surprise that Musk has done this.

With an election on the horizon. Trump's booming economy has hit the buffers. With it all the social divisions within US society that exist are surfacing. 

As clever as Musk & co are. They seem oblivious to the real threat to people from the virus. Concerning in itself.

Trump thrives on division - it's right up his street. Economy's hit the buffers - blame China for the virus; blame democrats for shutting down the economy. Will people buy it?

Time will tell if Musk has called this well from epidemiological, political and business viewpoints.I think he has on the first two and I really doubt that, net, Tesla will lose a single sale. It couldn't happen here of course where success is a bit dirty.

Biden in the White House would be a very different proposition.

America didn't have a booming economy pre-covid! It had a booming STOCK MARKET. stock market and economy two very different things. America has over 1 trillion dollars in personal credit card debt. It's economy is AWFUL. And that's pre covid!

To the average American in the rust belt. Having a job is a booming economy!. 

See Space X lost yet another prototype today. Hopefully getting to Mars won't prove to be Musk's achilles heel.

Getting to Mars will be the easy part with Elon, share price wise.

You mean the Starship SN4, doing it's 5th static fire test.

That's what happens when you're testing, SN5 will benefit from it.

I'm sure you remember the NASA failures in the 60's and the tragedy of Apollo 1 (they really should have done that test unmanned).

Virgin Galactic failed last week too.

SpaceX has had many failures as has Blue Origin, they are expected, it's normal.

SpaceX will probably fail completely if loss of life happens, maybe(?)

If SpaceX can get humans to Mars within the next 10 years then I'd be very surprised but I wouldn't bet against it.

I think humans will get to other planets but I understand many people don't see the point.

Hopefully the SpaceX Demo-2 lifts off without loss of life this week.

SpaceX will be a cash cow IMHO and it's good to see that you can part invest in that company via 'Baillie Gifford US Growth - symbol: USA'.

Maybe a full stock market listing is not too far away and Elon will overtake Jeff

Have you got a downer on everything Elon Musk is involved with? Are you going to bring up the failures in the Boring Company and Neuralink.

The question isnt whether you like Elon Musk, but rather would you trust him with your life savings.
