Coachella organizers have confirmed that the festival will be postponed to October due to the recent coronavirus outbreak. However, not everyone sees Coachella’s rescheduling as a bad thing. According to Elon Musk the festival should be canceled for a different reason altogether, namely "sucking."

“Coachella should postpone itself until it stops sucking,” the billionaire wrote in a series of tweets yesterday.
