Tesla CEO, Elon Musk has been open about his strong support for the postponement of Coachella, an annual music festival held in Palm Springs. Musk had earlier posted on Twitter, that the event "should postpone itself until it stops sucking."

The company head, suggested for an alternative, instead-a "mega rave cave" under the company's Berlin Gigafactory. Relatively, Musk launched a poll on his Twitter account on whether or not, to push through with the Tesla event.

The survey was posted before he added that the party needed to have a grand audio system and woofers a car's size.

Musk believed that Coachella should be postponed because the music event is reportedly in discussions to be delayed due to coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns.

In addition, Musk, also the SpaceX CEO, has been serious about the panic or alarm surrounding the fast-spreading of coronavirus.

As their response to Musk's tweet, around 90% of his followers voted for 'yes' clearly showing excitement and enthusiasm with which everyone is looking forward to seeing his newest ambitious undertaking.

Relatively, he tweeted last week that, COVID-19 "panic dumb."

This new strain of the highly contagious illness was first discovered in Wuhan, China late last year and has now affected over 118,000 people, killing over 4,000 around the globe.

Meanwhile, the Berlin Gigafactory manufacturing plant of Tesla is reportedly scheduled its opening in 20121.

Coachella 2020

This year's Coachella has taken a surprising turn as it typically kicks off "a season of live music weekends" in the country.

However, in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, the yearly pre-summer party has reportedly been postponed to the fall.

This means, there's a delay, when the regular attendees of this event will start previewing again, the best bands, on top of the best foods and beverages between sets.

The date of reviewing which band performed the best, and who among the special guests showed up and that dress everyone wore, has yet to be moved later, as well.

Typically, Coachella is held for two consecutive weekends, initially scheduled for April.

This year though, the first weekend of Coachella is set on October 9-11, and the second week of the event happens on October 16-18. Unfortunately for those who haven't bought the tickets yet, passes for both weekends are already sold out.

However, they can sign up for the waitlist to get a chance at any of the weekends that open up. For this year's festival, General Admission tickets were priced at $399. For VIP admission guests paid $929, on top of the VIP parking at $140.

Topping Coachella 2020's lineup includes Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott and Frank Ocean, plus Flume, Run the Jewels, Calvin Harris, Lana Del Rey, and Thom Yorke.

Goldenvoice has yet to confirm though, which of these performers will be performing given the new October date.
