Rapid antigen test. Its a quick and easy test that is known for a high false positive result. Most accurate is the PCR test which he obviously didnt do.

It's not supposed to be. That's the trade off you get for a rapid test.

the test requires a significant amount of the virus on the swabbed site to actually detect the antigen, and its not going to be there during many stages of the infection.

this is a repeat issue with musk, but when he's called out for his bullshit he doubles down and his supporters hop on to help.

He claimed it happened with the less specific rapid antigen test, then started tweeting and casting doubt about the RT-PCR based one, which is a completely different type of test. He's a moron who doesn't know what he's talking about and irresponsibly uses his platform.

Barely worth messing with, but how many of the cases we see on TV are these?

the early ones were crap because the CDC sent out contaminated controls. right now though the PCR test has something like a 98% accuracy. its false positive rate is functionally 0, its inaccuracy comes from false negatives.

the problem is that PCR tests in the US have a turnaround time of something like 3 to 5 days. which means that by the time you've gotten your results you've likely started showing symptoms and have blown past the asymptomatic infectious stage.

False positives or false negatives exist. Its not COVID specific. Its just how our technology is for antibody tests. Its the same for testing for HIV test results showing positive and negative on the same day is possible.

And then he started using twitter and showing what a shitty person he was. Was much easier for people to see and not just the good press he got.
