After the CDC reported 35,000 deaths from COVID-19 a few weeks later, Harris said he texted Musk: "Is (35,000 deaths + 600,000 cases) > 35,000 cases?"

And like a little bitch he runs away when proven wrong.

Just like he ran away from the fight with zuckerberg.

So, Musk was just as stupid then as he is today. Trump told us COVID would just go away when winter was over but guess what MAGAs are still just as stupid now as they were then. Apparently stupidity is not cured by warmer weather. MAGAs will die just as stupid as they were born. But take solace knowing Donald Trump will too. Trump's big mistake was made when his father died and left him millions of dollars but Donald somehow thought he earned it. Truth told Donald never earned anything in his stupid life. Well unless you consider selling national secrets to Putin for money earning it.
