Not exactly a scientific view he is espousing here. There could be dozens of risk factors that this person has, and Elron would not know about them. He is just such a moron, too - what he said is his usual pretentious mishmash and it means absolutely nothing.
“Could be the vaccine, but maybe not, we don’t know if the vaccine does this a lot, or not”. Wow, thanks, smartest guy on the planet.
Imagine it’s a warm July day and a car is discovered off the side of a road with the driver dead from the impact. Two people discover the car.
Man: “He might’ve hit a patch of ice.”
Woman: “But it’s July! It’s very unlikely there was any ice on the road. It’s much more likely something else caused the crash.”
Man: “I may not have any evidence he did hit ice, but ice is indeed slippery and can cause crashes, so we have just as much evidence he hit a patch of ice as we have for something else causing the accident.”
Woman: “You’re an idiot.”
It’s entirely possible something extraordinary happened and there was ice on the road, but acting like it’s just as likely as any other explanation is absurd.
Musk is literally claiming having no evidence makes all causes equally likely. I guess if I just never check my bank account, it’s just as likely I have a trillion dollars as a thousand dollars.
Oh, I’m well aware of the absurdity of his statement, but someone who already believes vaccines are bad will read Elon’s tweet once, understand barely enough of it to realize that it’s in line with their beliefs, then spread it to everyone they know.
Perhaps a villain came and spread water on the road, then chilled it with liquid nitrogen - the driver, not expecting ice, skidded to his death. Then the murder weapon melted and evaporated! We’ll never know for sure.
He’s even dumber than that. He’s not just saying “could be the vaccine, could be not”; he’s literally saying “you can’t say it’s the vaccine and you can’t say it’s not.”

It’s not scientific, but it sounds scientific, which is exactly how all anti-science conspiracy theories start and grow.

He’s managed to say less than nothing.
To any sane logical person, but a lot of people aren’t sane or logical and will glean whatever conspiracy nonsense they want.
I didn’t realize dog whistles sound so stupid
That’s because you’re not a dog :) congrats you passed the test!
