Original Note:
In April 2020, Elon Musk claimed to have delivered more than 1,000 ventilators to California hospitals (ICU ones cost $35-$50,000 each). When CNN contacted hospitals, they reported receiving ResMed CPAP/biPAP machines ($500-$2,000 each). The same happened in New York. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/17/tech/elon-musk-ventilators-california https://hcpresources.medtronic.com/blog/high-acuity-ventilator-cost-guide https://www.ft.com/content/dfc197c2-61ed-4cd6-8cb4-0ac865a47e69
