> like confidently predicting the end of COVID by April 2020.

I'm guessing you are referring to this Tweet, which indeed was very wrong "Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April": https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1240754657263144960

But other than that, I would say he's been ~90% right about COVID. Much more accurate than our main media organizations.

This hit piece on Forbes lists 5 times he was wrong, but in fact he was right in 4 out of 5 of those, https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewalsh/2021/03/13/elon-musks-...
