I actually agree with Elon Musk.

People panic too much especially when it didn't even reach their region/city but there is a reason why the experts who know more about it don't feel like it's just nothing bad to care about and there is a reason why countries do so much more against it than against some normal flu. It simply is worse than a normal flu or something similar bad and without all these measurements it would spread even faster. 

But I understand him. He is one of the richest people on the planet because other people invest money in his ideas since 20 years and Tesla still needs that money because Tesla can't exist without it yet. I also wouldn't like to see all those people who give me always money to lose a lot of money (at least for some time)  so that some might invest less in me. Just imagine next time he wants 3 billion he only would get 1 for Tesla. 

I guess it will hit every car manufacturer but as a company which still needs so much extra investments from outside to realize their projects, every extra loss doesn't sound that nice.

Also not sure why it's so important what he says about it. He isn't an expert for this and doesn't know more about it than your neighbor or us in this forum^^
