Tesla CEO Elon Musk had tweeted dismissively about whether there would even be a ventilator shortage.
“Elon Musk: how about this? I told you a few days ago he was likely to have 1,000 ventilators this week,” California Governor Gavin Newsom told reporters in a briefing Monday. “They arrived in Los Angeles and Elon Musk is already working with the hospital association and others to get those ventilators out in real time. It’s a heroic effort.”
Musk spent days duelling with local officials over a county shelter-in-place order before Tesla finally idled production at its lone US car-assembly plant.
