Elon Musk goes on anti-lockdown Twitter spree

Elon Musk has had some controversial opinions about the coronavirus pandemic, but now he's firmly taken a side against the lockdowns which are imposed in many places in the U.S. at present.

"FREE AMERICA NOW," the Tesla CEO tweeted to his 3.3 million Twitter followers on Wednesday, shortly after tweeting links to two stories on the subject of lockdowns — one Wall Street Journal opinion piece arguing that the data shows that lockdowns don't save many lives, and the other a news story on Texas retailers, restaurants, and other businesses reopening on Friday.
