YouTube Description
as posted by the channelElon Musk said Monday that Tesla's factory in Fremont, California, had restarted production in open defiance of the stay-at-home order in Alameda County. "I will be on the line with everyone else," he tweeted. "If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me." The company told workers their furlough ended Sunday, which conflicted with California Gov. Gavin Newsom's comments that he expected Tesla's plant to reopen next week.
After fending off a defamation lawsuit with the SEC last year, Musk tried his luck with the law again over the weekend. Tesla sued the county after it said the company didn’t meet criteria to reopen, a move Musk called "the final straw" and threatened to move Tesla’s HQ to Nevada or Texas. He tweeted, "much appreciated" in response to an offer from a Texas county to "immediately accommodate" Tesla if it chose to leave California.
