CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: Elon Musk To California “Fuck off!”, California To Elon Musk “Fuck You!”

A bitter spat has developed between the conspiracy theorist billionaire owner of Tesla, Elon Musk, and the state of California. Musk is incandescent with discontent at Californian state officials for ordering Tesla to remain closed during the Covid-19 crisis. The coronavirus pandemic has hit the U.S. hard and without mercy. The state of California ordered Tesla’s car plant to remain closed until it is able to meet strict safety measures to resume production. Tesla is headquartered in Palo Alto and has a production facility located nearby in Fremont.

Musk has routinely downplayed the pandemic and considers Covid-19 as a mere “trail-run” for an even more deadly virus not yet known to science. The Tesla boss has also criticised stay-at-home policies as “forcibly imprisoning people”. Production operations at Tesla Fremont have been suspended since March 23.

California’s public policy during the peak of the pandemic is to only allow all but essential businesses to remain open. However, Musk has finally had enough and is threatening to move production to the more friendly billionaire state of Texas. The Tesla boss also bemoaned at being treated with a lack of respect.

Using Twitter to voice his disdain at California, Musk tweeted; “If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen[t] on how Tesla is treated in the future.”
