        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Elon Musk purchased 1,000 ventilators and donated them to California hospitals to help treat coronavirus patients, the state’s governor said Monday.</p><p>“They’ve arrived in Los Angeles… It was a heroic effort,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said at a press conference.</p><p>The Tesla boss mentioned the effort on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1242279396226011137?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Monday night</a>, saying he bought the breathing machines Friday from China, where he claimed there was an oversupply.</p><p>“If you want a free ventilator installed, please let us know!” Musk wrote.</p><p>The 48-year-old tech pioneer wasn’t always so enthusiastic about the cause. He <strong>tweeted on March 6</strong>: “The coronavirus panic is dumb.”</p><p>But <strong>last week</strong> the entrepreneur said on Twitter that his company “will make ventilators if there is a shortage.”</p><p>Musk insisted that manufacturing more hospital supplies would be a breeze.</p><p>“Tesla makes cars with sophisticated hvac systems. SpaceX makes spacecraft with life support systems. Ventilators are not difficult, but cannot be produced instantly,” <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1240492347835604992?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">he tweeted</a> last Thursday.</p><p><em>With Post wires&nbsp;</em></p>]]></content:encoded>
