We all knew he was bluffing. Anyone who’s opened a fcty can tell u it’s not easy to move large hydraulic machines and find skilled labor in other states.
Curious that there’s only one Tesla in the parking lot (that we can see)
Let him get the virus
Elon Musk was a dick at SpaceX too
Lock him up.
I hope he goes to jail.
I thought he was taking his ball and going home.
theycallmeponny Arrest him. He's not above the law
KamalaHarris if you arrest this man I will support any future run for president you make
I say arrest him
Cuz that is what America needs right now more unaffordable cars
Arrest him.
I read Tesla, I’m thinking mopar. Whole lot of not Tesla in that parking lot. Shame it’s only a base model challenger.
Just blockade the parts supply trucks. Production will grind to a halt.
He should be arrested ...
Fuck Tesla
Arrest his arrogant ass !
alicebirdy Time for the board of directors at Tesla to rein in their mad genius mini Trump
[Looks at Gavin Newsom] Go right ahead. We'll be fine without him.
nanogenomic I am sure he is struggling more than most local business owners right now and couldn't pay his workers to stay at home another day.
Way to go, Elon!
He is liable for the infections that occur on his watch.
He won’t be punished or stopped bc of money.
I will buy a Tesla for this reason alone
Why does it matter?
Very manipulative headline. CA allowed for some industries to open. The shutdown orders came from a none elected official.
Let’s open up a gofund me to any employee who walks in to his office and beat his ass and recorded
Fremont TX?
Stand up for your rights
Go Elon! Resist the mini-fascists!
No special treatment is enough huh? Kinda funny but not really Does anyone else has gotten tired of so many guys 'making the world a better place' yet not really for everyone else, yeah their world sure keeps getting better and better, problem is nothing is enough for them
Love him
Can't wait to see the perp walk!
One way ticket on spaceX.
You’re being misleading in this headline
Money more important than safety to Elon? Is that the guy you want building spacecraft? Cares about money not people.
How many Tesla workers drive a Tesla? Funny to see the Dodge Challenger shown prominently in the picture.
They have no choice, EM is not above the law and he certainly does not make his own. Arrest the jerk.
I’ve lost all respect for him since the pandemic started. Used to admire him. But he’s been wrong since the start, and then started giving time to conspiracies. Really sad to see
Pleaseeeee arrest Elon Musk 🙂
It's incredibly irresponsible of him to expose his workers like this.
He's white sp nothing will happen.
If we shoot a sports car into space driven by a mannequin at 88mph can't we just make the last 4 months disappear!?!? Oh hell, let's go back to 2015 but with knowledge of today!!
Leave Commiefornia to rot.
Put him out of our misery. He’s just a spoiled brat looking for attention.
He isn’t threatening workers jobs if they don’t come back and he’s implemented many safeguards that have been shown to be effective at his Shanghai factory. This isn’t a Tyson plant.
Most likely he realizes that anyone 65 and older are most at risk for getting deathly ill from the virus and realizes that life must resume. Soon many businesses will follow. Protect elderly care facilities and fix 75% of the problem.
Please arrest him.
If Dame Fortune smiles upon me, my first electric car will be a FordMustang Mach-E, not some Tesla POS. F Musk.
Great pic of the anti-Tesla car right in front. Sneaky sneaky.
Arrest him
Sure. Reckless endangerment, flouting OSHA, violating state emergency laws.... he’s going to be living in a courthouse jail soon.
Lock him up!
Then fucking do it, CA. Forget that shit, laws apply to egotistical visionaries as well as us lowly mortals
Cant arrest someone for something that isn’t law braniacs
Dems are the virus!!!
Dems are the enemy of the USA!!!
Arrest him for violating the law. He is endangering the lives of his workers. Its criminal.
Scum...
They want to work.
Arrest the prick
Why can’t you do some research before “reporting facts” or is it that you want to mislead people? They are allowed to open:
tesla 1, alameda county 0
How long would astronauts be isolated on a Mars mission? elonmusk
Officials should shoot him
. Arrest the motherfucker!! Just do it!!!
Will he be paying for the medical care some of his workers will need when they get infected?
Elon is going crazy before our very eyes
Do it! Do it! Do it! DO IT!
If California doesn't play ball Elon can take his ball to another state. I'm betting on Texas.
They should let him open but make him sign forms that he is personally responsible for all associated medical costs, life insurance claims, lawsuits and lost wages of sickened employees, their families and others infected.
Arrest his ass.
Good.
Y’all haven’t whiffed this bad since you claimed HRC was unbeatable
An idiot. All he had to do was wait one more week. And do not tell me that the governor gave him carte blanche, May 18th. Have you noticed his erratic behavior? He tanked the stock price of Tesla in one day. It was meaningless to him, But the investors? They believed in him.
Postpartum depression!?!
Move the entire company out of California!
No one is above the law.
Arrest him, and he’ll get more fanboys.. don’t arrest him and he’ll get more fanboys. Just shut productions.
Arrest him.
Ban cars.
How about not buy his product?
Don't we have enough to worry about?
Arrest him then. What a fucking drama queen.
As John Oliver would say: congratulations to him for having a white penis
Nice way to protect your workers! Hope he is arrested.
Arrest the jerk
Our businesses feed our economy and are linked to our nation’s security, providing us leverage against other world powers. I’m afraid we’ve given this virus too much power and are now okay with the destruction of what so many worked and died for-Thank u Elon elonmusk
Personally, I'm so in the mood to see some rich people held accountable for something...
boycottTesla
They should arrest his ass
His factory in China was shutdown for weeks. Did he do anything against the local government there in China?
Elon seems to be having another episode. His Board should review his actions. Tesla buyers are NOT those in favor of reopening. I'll bet those that most want reopening are those blocking Tesla charging stations. Moving the plant to Texas, a major oil producing state? Not wise.
Go for it; toss the clown into prison; toss the entire mgmt team in too
Civil discourse! 👌
What an a-hole. Risking his workers for profit. I hope people boycott Tesla
So let’s build more cars that are sitting on lots because so many are out of work Only a billionaire by accident would do something so stupid
Of course, he's one of the great entitled
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 we need more like Elon, I hope he leaves California and comes to Arizona.
I hope he closes it tomorrow and moves out of that fucked up, poor excuse for a state.
Any employee who doesn't feel safe returning to work should quit. Let the others take their chances.
Couldn't care less about him getting arrested. I'm more concerned with the folks in those factories.
SCCgov health officials should ID everyone defying shelter in place orders, and then make sure that they are denied medical care once they become infected.
Arrest Elon. Now.
Except it's not illegal?
Douchebag.
😡
Dude needs a mental health break. Did Amber heard do this to him?
elonmusk You're such a lightweight. Maybe you should change your name to AE-$$*-hole Tesla coronavirus
It isn't like production was on time anyway🤷🏽♀️
A Tesla factory with not a Tesla in sight. Henry Ford isn’t running that company. Great marketing.
when one has money, power, and privilege they tend not to encounter the adversity that leads to growth of character this man-child has gone unchecked and unchallenged his whole life and today we see the result of such a process
Arrest him without bail and have him wait in jail for his trial.
Luckily elonmusk is like 100% smarter than any of the slugs commenting on this tweet. But you don’t have to be a genius to reopen safely.
TrumpStrong
He has more social distancing going on inside (because of robots) than most other factories. Why is Tesla being open worse than Walmart, Amazon, or anyone else? Everyone needs to calm the f*ck down. Yeah he’s crazy, but this is not a bad proposal on his part.
So I guess we can now presume he has given up smoking pot.
Is he arrested yet?
TSLA alamode StayHome
That’s the big middle finger
So... gets arrested, catches COVID in jail, spreads it to newborn baby? Is that what he's risking with this stunt? Fck him.
Do what he wants. Arrest him.
He is committing the biggest sin a business owner can make. He is placing his ego before the product his company makes. He doesn't care about electric cars. He cares about getting his way. I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla's BOD and his investors take a dim view of his antics.
Bro. He couldnt even smoke. I'd love to see him oiss himself. In cuffs. And I'd love to see how hard that makes Trumps nipps
What do expect from the guy that names his kid X Æ A-12?
Rich dude ( who could afford to just pay people) makes not rich people have to defy state orders... 😶😑😐🤨😒
Please go get him GavinNewsom. We're really tired of arrogant sociopaths.
So arrest him. And everyone in management.
ARREST that Jack Ass!
Fecking arrest the asshat!
So now he's like that tipsy hairdresser that opted for jail instead of obeying the law or paying a fine, leaving her kids with no mother AFTER she was paid $18,000 by the government for her small business to close
Lock his ass up
Wow, looks like he doesn’t know how to say his baby’s name either. Maybe he just wants to practice before he spends any more time at home with the bebe
The fact he doesn’t care about the risk of spreading COVID makes me wonder about the safety of Tesla cars. neverbuyTesla
Hero.
Time for the pussyhat hysteria to go into overdrive!
Good for Musk and Tesla employees
Uneducated white guys that sleep with guns under their pillows and have never been loved just found their new hero
Arrest him. Fuck Elon Musk.
Do like the Gov of Colorado did to the Castle Rock restaurant: take away his business license. Shut him down. You don’t need a spoiled brat killing and endangering more people.
Arrest his ass
Elon Musk has demonstrated that he does not care about his worker’s health. I will not purchase a Tesla!
boycotttesla
Because entitled, white, billionaires can get away with killing their workforce but poc can’t walk the streets social distancing w/o being accosted and beaten by police. Arrest his privileged ass!
Cool! Let's go
Well, he does have another mouth to feed 🙄 ...
This is why guillotines were invented.
The GOP on civil disobedience when people are breaking a Democrat's order: 'Freedom of speech! Protest away, brothers!' But when people breaking a Republican's order? 'Unpatriotic socialist jerkweek commies! Throw them in jail!'
Let's get back to work.
All 👏 billionaires 👏 are 👏 the 👏 same
😂 this guy
Book him!
Arrest everyone In the factory. Not employees fault but the billionaire who isn't on premises won't get the message
Brilliant Democrats
Arrest him
Kinda weird that I don't see a single Tesla in this parking lot. I'm assuming this is an employee lot? hmmm
This guy has lost his damn mind and I hope they hold him personally responsible for every single person that becomes infected from working in that plant.
ReOpenCalifornia istandwithelon
Someone tell me how to feel about this🙄😉
Please do.
Every death from that plant will be on his hands too.
They SHOULD arrest him.
This man is unbelievable
Maybe he parked a Dodge Challenger in front to make a statement.
Let him if he takes responsibility for civil, criminal and healthcare consequences of his defiance.
Hooray Elon Musk! 'Health officials,' the ball is in your court.
It’s an unfortunate truth that we have to keep working to keep the economy afloat. Hopefully they provide paid sick leave and health insurance tesla
Throw him in a nuthouse.
Lock him up!
The irony of a Dodge Challenger in the foreground stealing the shot.
I think it’s completely ironic how people here are screaming about elonmusk resuming operations but they don’t say jack shit about Trump and his push to open up the economy as soon as possible without the proper PPE and testing/tracing in place.
Governor of California listed manufacturing as allowed to open.
he probably imagines he’s making some kind of a brave principled stand, but what people actually see is just a guy whose willing to kill others to line his pockets
Ugh just cut the power
Sounds like a plan
Someone should arrest this idiot.
I won’t buy one.
So um, arrest him...
Arrest him!!!!!
He has a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and if that means he needs to protect his business against a government that does not know the difference between a serious health issue or a Trumped up story meant to fuck the American people over than it’s time to 🤜
LOCK HIM UP!
Good for him. Elon is a boss. I wish he could be president, but he’s not US born. The man is a genius, not afraid to say fuck off to the idiots permanently in office in California (Democrats), is responsible for making EVs feasible for every day people, etc. Alameda can suck it.
Elon himself should spend at least 1 day a week on the he production line Hell all the executives should
Whatever, Weirdo’s not going anywhere
Arrest him.
Standing for nothing but the total disregard for worker's health. Typical billionaire it seems.
Way to go elonmusk Tesla it was about time everyone got to work and even more so when all other manufacturing has started to open. Hypocrisy at best !!
lock him up. He jumped the shark, screwed the pooch, and needs some spanking.
How dare this man want to work and make money and pay taxes. Doesn’t he know he should be cowering in fear.
Why do all these rich guys publicly demand they're above the law? Clearly they missed the memo about clandestine bribery.
It's much more fun getting arrested if you know you have millions of dollars worth of blue chip lawyers behind you who terrify the crap out of cops and would send the AG of California himself running screaming to the hills. Especially if you're already one of their major donors.
Man Elon needs to jump off a building. This guy is annoying.
no interest in supporting this brat. lots of companies have e-cars nows......you aren't that special tesla. get over yourself musk.
Let’s do it. Lock him up!
Arrest the fucker.
Like people in line waiting to buy electric cars right now!
Double edged sword here. On one hand, as a small business owner with my family, I support him doing what he has to do to make money. It’s his right. On the other hand, I fear we are seeing another entitled billionaire getting away w something just because he has $
Seriously billionaire asshole🤮
Hope the factory employees sue him for billions.
I hope no employees get sick but ifvthey do I hope they sue
Yup, arrest this asshole! Immediately.
Arrest him. Nobody should be above the law, not even the rich.
I think Elon needs an intervention 😑
It's really lucky Elon didn't head to the beach for some sunbathing. That would have got him arrested.
I will never buy a Tesla product because of his antics.
Can't wait for him to move Tesla and its billions to Texas. California is scum.
Challenger!
ugh - unbelievable
This is just free publicity a billionaire putting people at risk.
Who is this designed to impress?
It's freaking hilarious watching Elon Musk go full maga. Trapped kids in a cave was a real turning point. Though, I'm interested in seeing if he can get climate change deniers to buy electric cars?
Yank his business license, arrest him and padlock the place
please arrest him
Build factory in China ... Hero Move factory to Texas ... Lynch him! Dims... phht
Arrest the ass.
Wow its a day for rich guys used to getting what they want behaving like jerks.
Cut his Tesla power off like California has done to strip club
Way to go ELON!!!!!
Make him work on the assembly lines if he feels it is safe. Let him put his body where his mouth is.
It’s about time!
Good
I misread that as ferment. Go sourdough.
If any employee gets COVID-19 from going into his plant while open on violation I hope he gets sued and loses big time. Never buy a Tesla now for sure. Musk is an arrogant SOB who doesn't give a shit about his workers.
I can't wait to hear the outcome!
Please arrest him if no safety plan is in effect to protect his workers
class action lawsuit by employees would be better
How about arresting him for this X Æ A-12 first...mmmk?
Elon Musk must be really freaking out about being around a newborn baby if he rather go to jail.
Seriously? elonmusk l seriously looked up to you and wanted nothing more than a Tesla. Staying with Toyota
If Telsa workers refuse to show up and wind up getting fired, they’d probably win big in court bc it was an illegal factory. Ditto if Tesla needs to make a Corona-related insurance claim; operating in violation of the law has consequences.
I never knew until lately what an ass Musk is
Lock him up! Lock him up!
elonmusk is now open to personal liability suits by virtue of operating against best advice and municipal law. Employees who do get sick, will be looking to him for restitution. I regret suggesting he should run with Schwarzenegger in 2020 : There seems to be something wrong.
Tesla should dump him.
Arrest him, and stop production of his facility.
United We Stand
Lost (another) sale here, doofus.
He’s trying to corner the white trash market for electric cars which,by the way, doesn’t exist.🤷🏻♂️
Because who's desperate for a car right now? And if his workers don't feel safe to go back to their often racist workplace they're out of a job with no unemployment. elonmusk is a dick
Arrest him.
Okay
Can they arrest him for being a jackass in general or does it have to be COVID-19 restrictions violation related only?
Well, that settles that. No Tesla for me. Ever.
Put him on house arrest
I’m not saying this action is right or wrong but define “essential business” for yourself, review the government definition of essential business in your state or better yet various states and then rethink your position on this. Then judge.
Daring?
Selfish ahole.
Billionaires don't care about you.
bust him.
They'll just block the road, duh.
elonmusk is currently Britney Spears 2007.
Want to REALLY cause Musk pain? Refuse to buy his cars NoTesla
What is wrong with him today 🤷🏽♀️
UAW
Arrest the arsehole.
Elon Musk should be executed.
Please, for fuck’s sake, someone arrest him.
Gavin, needs to bring down the hammer.
and people say he's a real life iron man hes more of villain and the worst kind too.
He should be in some sort of home.
Dear California officials, Please arrest elonmusk Thanks, The general public
It’s time for lawyers to begin suing companies that are NOT PROTECTING THEIR EMPLOYEES AS THEY REOPEN! Elon should have moved his company to Texas!
he treats his employees like shit. we shouldn't expect anything less
This is just strange
Arrest him and pull his business license for 14 days.
They wont arrest him. Just fine him for each day he is open. JFC, that's how it works with rich people and he decided he can just pay these fines.
TESLA, CALL THE Governors OFFICE, PLEASE!! MOVE TO THE HOUSTON AREA!!!!!!!!!!! WE HAVE 10's of THOUSANDS OF RAW LAND, AND IT IS CHEAP! 7 MILLION IN THE AREA. WE WOULD BUY NOTHING BUT TESLA'S, IF WE COULD GET THEM. WE ARE READY FOR YOU! WE ARE A AT WILL STATE, AND VERY FEW REGS.
Do it. Arrest him.
Go Elon 💪🇺🇸
God, I hope they arrest him.
