Musk is curious about the "Toilet Paper Riot" and takes the child to the store to confirm: it's just a human panic

Musk, the world's richest man, said, "I don't know much about why there is a shortage of toilet paper, so I went to HEB and Walmart with my children until I confirmed it with my own eyes that I didn't know how serious the panic shopping was."

According to reports, on Wednesday local time, Musk discussed the global chip shortage on Tesla's fourth-quarter earnings call, and at the same time compared with the shortage of toilet paper in supermarkets affected by the epidemic, he said, "The situation is obvious, it is not that people's physiological needs to wipe their butts have increased, but the area of people's psychological panic has expanded, as long as it is paper that is like toilet paper function can also replace it."

Musk added that in order to personally confirm how exaggerated the toilet paper chaos is, "I am not sure of the authenticity of this situation, so I took my children to HEB and Walmart in Texas, and after personally confirming, in addition to toilet paper and other things, even food and other things were snapped up, I really can't believe it, it is exaggerated to this extent!" 」

Of this situation, he said, "I really can't understand this 'strange situation', people are just out of psychological panic, not real physical needs, if the end of the world does come one day, will toilet paper still be what you really need?" 」

It is understood that Musk believes that home isolation is a very stupid epidemic prevention policy, violating the constitutional human rights protection, and he also told media magazines that he and his children have been vaccinated and oppose the mandatory wearing of masks.
