Alameda County officials shouldn’t be fighting Elon Musk on Twitter, Chamath Palihapitiya says. “Alameda should sit down with Tesla, have them walk through their entire testing mechanism, the protocols they’re taking, and actually make a decision.”
At the plant, employees often do physically tiring tasks in close proximity, while touching the same equipment. They do not have much time to take leave to wash their hands, the employees all noted, and bathrooms at the factory aren't always in a pristine condition.
A spokesperson for the Fremont district supervisor's office in Alameda County, Shawn Wilson, wrote in an emailed reply: "The Order states that your question of enforcement is left up to the local policing agency, so your question should be directed to the Fremont Police Department. If Tesla violates the order, it would be Fremont Police Department's decision to enforce or not enforce.
