      Elon Musk attempts to answer what level of PEEP seems too high to him, and hilarity ensues. It's almost as though he has no clue what he's talking about. No, it's EXACTLY as though he has no clue what he's talking about, as any doc with critical care experience can tell you.😂 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1250608235444203520 …

      Here's a hint for @elonmusk. If you don't want to go "much above their natural lung pressure," this is your only option. By definition, positive pressure ventilation is well above "natural lung pressure.”🤦🏻‍♂️ https://twitter.com/rothasaurusrex/status/1251140220990488576?s=21 …https://twitter.com/ROTHasaurusRex/status/1251140220990488576 …

          #DoctorMusk knows best about everything in all fields. He is so brilliant, beyond everyone's comprehension. Look at all the big words he uses! Compared to Elon, Bill Gates is underwhelminghttps://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1229568241552502784 …

          I checked and these are actually getting trialled? Honestly, if I got that bad myself, I'd prefer being stuck in an iron lung to being intubated - so could one really work?https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/coronavirus-iron-lung-nhs-ventilation-papworth-a9440931.html …

          Unclear. For simple Neuro or muscle failure negative pressure vent is great. Not sure about pneumonia, or trauma. There are blood flow issues as well.

          To be fair, Elon does have some familiarity with people being encased inside of a metal contraption while dying.

          Don’t waste your time trying to educate Musk. To him enlightenment consists in multisyllabic words and the assertion of false credentials. Welcome to $TSLA.
