Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted Monday that the company’s Fremont factory had restarted production, despite standing orders by Alameda County to remain closed.
The full parking lot came two days after Tesla sued Alameda County’s health department seeking to overturn the order, and Musk threatened to move Tesla’s manufacturing and headquarters operations out of the state.“Our employees are excited to get back to work, and we’re doing so with their health and safety in mind,” Tesla’s Saturday statement said.
Early in the coronavirus crisis, Newsom praised Musk as the “perfect example” of the private sector assisting the state in the pandemic. His comments came after Musk pledged to provide more than 1,000 ventilators to California hospitals, a fact Newsom repeated often and called a “heroic effort.”
