Tesla boss Musk is at war with measures to curb the coronavirus pandemic. The restrictions also apply in California, where Tesla is headquartered. Musk now wants to start production again, and even accepts jail.
Tesla boss Elon Musk wants to get the main plant in California up and running again right away, intensifying his dispute with authorities over crown restrictions. Musk will also be on the production line, Musk wrote on Twitter. “If someone is arrested, I will ask that it be just me.”
Alameda County, where the Tesla plant in Fremont is located, continues to have exit restrictions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Tesla had filed a lawsuit against him over the weekend, and Musk had threatened to move the California automaker’s headquarters to Texas or Nevada, for example.
California Governor Gavon Newsom had promised to resume production next week, shortly before Musk’s tweet.
Musk had downplayed the risk of coronavirus from the start, calling Alameda County’s restrictions on going out last week as “fascists.” By far the majority of Tesla vehicles are being built in Fremont, while production at the new second plant in China is just beginning.
