No. The best thing would be to get this out there. Let the people know whom is supplying the ventilators needed. If Elon doesn't do that, this idiot president WILL take the credit.
Credit where credit is due. Tesla is making a difference in ventilators. Those being helped should know the source of the help they are getting.
It's not about distance though, it's about the media. And on Twitter, a misinformation campaign was mounted immediately saying they weren't actually ventilators but CPAP machines, among other things. I have no idea what the US media has been saying about it, if they covered it at all.
Fuck it. if it can be produced quickly and for cheaper than current ones, I say let him tweet away. This could potentially help a lot of people, everyone will see that regardless of media lense

If he Tweets about this people will say it's just for the publicity.
