>>Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said the company would make ventilators if there is a shortage
well, there is. Either get off Twitter or shoot a tweet to your underlings to get going. Pretty much countries will buy any ventilator that someone makes, money is no object.
Actually, right now there is not a shortage of ventilators. Few hospitals have ordered more, and there are large stocks. There probably will be a shortage soon, but unless someone orders them and guarantees payment it's hard to imagine any manufacturer re-tooling their factory and spinning up production on a wing and a prayer.
do you really think they will be unsold? No one is willing to export those few that are manufactured so getting guaranteed payment is not an issue, I'm sure. USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy and everyone has opened their wallets...
