After fending off a potentially costly defamation lawsuit and emerging with mild consequences from a court battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2019, Musk, 48, seems emboldened to again try his luck with the law. California governor Gavin Newsom sought to ease tensions earlier on Monday, saying that he believed Tesla would be able to begin operations as soon as next week.
“I don’t think Musk can just fly in the face of the local health order, which is more restrictive than the state’s,” said Haggerty, who has represented the region for 23 years.Tesla told production workers before Musk’s tweet that it was getting back to work at the Fremont factory. Valerie Capers Workman, Tesla’s head of North American human resources, e-mailed production staff to notify them that their furlough ended on Sunday.
“My understanding is they have had some very constructive conversations,” Newsom said. “My belief and hope and expectation is as early as next week, they will be able to resume.” Capers Workman told employees that the state had “given the green light for manufacturing to resume”.Musk tweeted over the weekend that Alameda’s refusal to let Tesla reopen the Fremont factory was “the final straw” and that he would immediately move Tesla’s headquarters to Nevada or Texas.
