So, Musk bought a thousand ventilators

One would think that a billionaire would pay a bit of attention to what he's putting his money in, so that his PR coup could actually be useful.

I suspect that he just phoned his PR team and said "get some ventilators to New York, stat !" and they bumbled through Amazon and thought they were doing a good job.

Well, sorry guys, you didn't. Not only did you not help in a time of crisis, but everyone will remember that you couldn't be arsed to check exactly what equipment was necessary before throwing a few thousand bucks out the window.

As for Thiel, I can't help but wonder : did he keep his plane crew isolated with him, or did he send them back to fare for themselves ?

I suspect the latter.
