The tweet has received mixed reactions. Some users say that he is spreading misinformation as the masks do not kill the virus.
A user said, “Sir, please don't spread rumors to sell products. No virus can be destroyed by any mask. This is basic science. Neither mask safeguards you from viruses”.

Neither mask safeguards you from viruses.
Another wrote, “Mr. Mahindra No mask that we know of can "destroy the virus" as you have written in your post. Kindly correct this ASAP since you are a public personality. All masks only assist in personal protection from air borne infection”.
