Elon Musk said that he was resuming operations in the California Tesla factory despite tyrannical edicts from the local county government. He has dared the government to arrest him.
Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.

The orange man has tweeted his support for Musk.
California should let Tesla & @elonmusk open the plant, NOW. It can be done Fast & Safely!

Business owners around the country should follow Musk’s lead. If everybody opened their business, it would be impossible for state governments to arrest everyone.
We know the virus is no more dangerous than the flu. It is insane for businesses to stay closed considering all the data we have. Anybody who is continuing to advocate for these lockdowns to continue is deliberately trying to sabotage the economy and destroy America’s middle class.
