'If I had to go get a 9-to-5 and start f*cking over,' the Barstool Sports owner said, I'd rather die of corona, seriously, or at least take my chances.'

Elon Musk, the co-founder and CEO of the electric vehicle and clean energy company Tesla, said in a tweet on Thursday that he thinks David Portnoy, founder of the satirical sports and pop culture blog Barstool Sports should run for president after Portnoy issued a profanity-filled rant in a video expressing frustration over social restrictions in the ongoing coronavirus epidemic.

"When did this become 'Flatten the curve' to 'We have to find a cure or everyone's going to die?'" Portnoy asked in his video. Portnoy said that he first considered infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony S. Fauci a grandfatherly sort"with no agenda" until Fauci's Senate testimony on Wednesday, which Portnoy characterized as Fauci saying,"Reopen the country too quickly, everyone's dead.' Where'd that come from?!"

In his Senate hearing, Dr. Fauci said that"the consequences could be really serious" if regions try to"prematurely open up without having the capability of being able to respond effectively and efficiently." He said reopenings can only confidently occur with increased testing and capability to quickly identify, isolate and trace new cases.

I'm not saying everybody would do that. I would.
