Steve Kirsch offered to pay a woman on a Delta flight a generous sum in exchange for her taking off her mask.

After a wave of criticism on social media, the billionaire said that he was not aggressively directed against people and that his comments were taken out of context.

The 67-year-old man is also a well-known fighter against masks and an opponent of vaccines.

He created a research fund for alternative treatments for COVID in 2020, donating $1 million to the cause.

After the incident was heavily criticized by social media users, the tycoon insisted that his proposition to the woman was hypothetical and that he was not aggressively pursuing people.

He also claimed that he and the woman had a friendly conversation and that he simply wanted her opinion on why she preferred to wear a mask.

"It was a hypothetical question, 'How much do you need for you to take off your mask?' , but this is not the case at all. We are having a friendly conversation," said Kirsch. 

It will be recalled that Steve Kirsch offered a woman on the plane $100,000 to remove her mask on board.

"The person sitting next to me in first class turned down $100,000 to take off the mask for the entire flight. No joke. That was after I explained that they don't work. She works for a pharmaceutical company." , - he shared.
