After days of bashing US lockdown orders to his 33 million followers $4, Elon Musk took aim at the California health department in his latest coronavirus-related tirade.

On Wednesday night, Musk $4 the data portal for the California Health and Human Services Agency, which provides up-to-date information on the number of coronavirus-related deaths, cases, and hospital patients who have tested positive across the state. An hour later, Musk wrote that the CHHS site had crashed.

"Maybe it has covid," $4.

Business Insider has been unable to verify that the server for the $4 experienced outages Wednesday night, although the data portal was working without issues by Thursday morning. The California Department of Public Health — the division overseeing CHHS — said it is looking into the claims. Cloudflare, the cybersecurity company whose network CHHS operates on, did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

Musk $4 bashing US lockdown orders, slamming leaders for taking away people's freedoms and $4 for reopening businesses. Also this week, in $4, Musk called the stay-at-home measures "fascist" and said they go against people's constitutional rights.

There have been $4 in recent weeks, and continual surges of misinformation around the virus. One viral movement, tagged with #FilmYourHospital, encourages people to share photos on social media of apparently empty hospitals to show that the medical community isn't $4.

However, there are a number of factors that could be contributing to the low number of hospital beds that are occupied in California. The state has been under a lockdown order $4, and has been directed to adhere to social distancing guidelines "until further notice." A recent study found that since the lockdown orders went into place in California, the number of traffic collisions and resulting patients $4.

Musk has consistently downplayed the severity of the novel coronavirus since mid-March. Early on, $4 "the panic will cause more harm than the virus, if that hasn't happened already."
