Meh, I think this is just a convenient out. I'm not saying that there is no risk, but the other serious health risks was always a factor for everyone (so barring agoraphobia, not a thing) and covid is also less of an issue if you are up to date with your booster.
If he wants he can also wear a mask I guess (travel is all done private, so hardly any risks there. Or at least a lot less than for mere mortals).
Keep in mind he is a billionaire with one goal, protect his empire, and everything is allowed in that game... Even using legitimate concerns for some to get out from under being deposed on the stand.
On the other hand I don't see why being there in person has to be required for anyone. He can say exactly the same things remotely.
Remote does not make as much of an impression as in person.
