Elon Musk’s Promised Ventilators Never Delivered To California Hospitals, Governor’s Office Says

Now, more than three weeks later, the governor’s office says none of the promised ventilators have been received by hospitals.

despite the claims, none of the ventilators promised by the CEO of Bay Area-based Tesla have been delivered to hospitals, according to the governor’s office.

“Elon Musk and his team told the state that he had procured ventilators and wanted to distribute them directly to hospitals with shortages,” a spokesperson for the California governor’s Office of Emergency Services told CNN Wednesday.

“The Administration is communicating every day with hospitals across the state about their ventilator supply and to date we have not heard of any hospital system that has received a ventilator directly from Tesla or Musk.”

Spokespersons for Tesla did not return CNN requests for comment. The news was first reported by the Sacramento Bee.
