No Joke: Tesla Could Be Helping Make a Coronavirus Vaccine
Elon Musk is full of surprises.
Some eyebrows were raised earlier this year when the Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO proclaimed that his company would make ventilators for COVID-19 patients. But now Tesla appears to be moving into an even more intriguing arena that could impact the fight against the novel coronavirus.
Last week, Musk engaged in a conversation on Twitter about COVID-19 testing. When asked about about his thoughts on RNA vaccines as an approach for immunizing against the novel coronavirus, he replied that he thinks "synthetic RNA (and DNA) has amazing potential." Musk then tweeted, "Tesla, as a side project, is building RNA microfactories for CureVac & possibly others."
