1). I believe that Musk is treating this as it should be. The problem is that nearly everyone is over-reacting. A year from now, I believe that the world will realize that this was one giant over-reaction.

2). Is there really a need to over-analyze a photo shoot like that? High ranking officials usually don't wear masks (See Trump or Trudeau when they are talking to the press).

What new information do you think will become available in one year's time to make it obvious that this was an over-reaction?

If it's about total number of deaths - we know that know and even if the number is lower, it means the lockdown worked, no?

If it's, for example, new information becoming available about covid virality, that will be irrelevant, as people have to make decisions now with the information available now.

Re 2) it's expected and important for leadership to set the tone. Arguably what Trump and Trudeau are doing (if what you say is true) is wrong.
