Those aren't ICU level machines.

It's like going to war, needing firearms for our troops, and buying them 1000 NERF guns.
So basically there are now a bunch of Tesla branded CPAP machines purchased with our tax dollars sitting in hospitals gathering dust, while Musk parades around as a hero? Did I get that right?
