The journalist assured that “a voice on the line said: ‘Wrong press conference. Let’s go ahead'”, and later they learned that it was the magnate.
SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk spoke unexpectedly during a NASA conference call Thursday when a journalist asked space agency administrator Jim Bridenstine about the magnate’s latest comments to end the containment measures.
“I would need to see specifically what was said […] we at NASA we have taken the pandemic very seriously of coronavirus, “Bridenstine replied.
At the time, the reporter in charge of the interview, Marina Koren of The Atlantic, offered to share Musk’s controversial tweets, in which he criticizes the quarantines that keep economic activity stopped. However, one man interrupted and said: “I think this is a different topic”.
Bridenstine introduced Musk soon after my question. For the record, NASA didn’t tell reporters he was going to be on the call.

The journalist also commented on the incident on her Twitter account, and assured that “a voice on the line said: ‘wrong press conference. Let’s keep going’“adding that it was Musk.
NASA apparently did not inform journalists in advance that Musk would be attending the press conference, and a few minutes after the interruption, Bridenstine formally introduced the founder of SpaceX. The magnate made some comments about the lunar mission and thanked NASA for their support.
Musk and the blockade by the covid-19
“Free the United States now,” was one of the messages that the magnate wrote on Thursday, April 29, who since March 23 has closed the Tesla assembly plant located in Fremont, California.
Also, when interacting with another user, Musk asked “reopen carefully” with “adequate protection”, Instead of “putting everyone under de facto house arrest.”
In the continuity of his messages, Musk quoted a publication from The Wall Street Journal that stated that, according to information collected by that newspaper, closing the economy does not help save lives.
