As the Novel Coronavirus is causing a massive shortage of medical supplies around the world, many companies from different sectors are lending their hands to help the medical facilities around the globe. We have seen Google pledging $50 million to fight Covid-19 and Apple has already donated 9 million surgical masks to protect health workers. Now, Elon Musk finally came out to help fight the disease.

The coronavirus panic is dumb

However, since that time, the Space X chief has had a change of mind and now he is all in to help the world.

Yup, China had an oversupply, so we bought 1255 FDA-approved ResMed, Philips & Medtronic ventilators on Friday night & airshipped them to LA. If you want a free ventilator installed, please let us know!

After the successful delivery of the medical devices, Musk went on to thank Tesla’s China team, China Customs and the Los Angeles Customs.

Thanks Tesla China team, China Customs Authority & LAX customs for acting so swiftly

According to Governor Newsom, apart from Tesla, General Motors and five other companies have raised their hands to produce ventilators in their facilities to fill the gaps. To help the health workers, who are risking their lives to save other patients, the state of California is planning to acquire more than 500 million masks and around 1 billion gloves.
