Elon Musk on Thursday night said he took four rapid coronavirus tests  — with two negative results and as many positive readings.

“Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today,” Musk tweeted.

“Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD.”

Musk, responding to a Twitter user who commented on his post, said he was experiencing “Symptoms of a typical cold. Nothing unusual so far.”

With “BD,” the Tesla CEO may have been referring to Becton, Dickinson and Co.’s BDX.N rapid antigen test.
