Tesla's Musk doubles down against coronavirus restrictions, calling it fascism

Tesla Inc. TSLA, +4.08% Chief Executive Elon Musk reiterated his criticism of ongoing shelter-in-place orders across the U.S., calling it an "infringement of people's rights" and saying that telling people they cannot leave their homes is "fascist, this is not democratic. Give people back their (expletive) freedom." Tesla's sole U.S. vehicle-producing factory in Fremont, Calif., has been shuttered since late March as the San Francisco Bay Area was among the first regions in the U.S. to issue mandatory shutdowns. "It's outrage" that will cause "great harm" not just to Tesla but other companies and suppliers, Musk said in a call with analysts late Wednesday. While many will weather the storm, there are many small companies that will not, Musk said. Tesla earlier Wednesday reported a surprise first-quarter profit, sending the stock soaring in the extended session.

Dem controlled areas would start executing people if it would remove Trump

[canuck_conservative]

Hopefully his comments will encourage other people with influence to speak up against the Media-Democrat fearmongering and intimidation

“Give people back their (expletive) freedom.”

Not exactly eloquent, but very succinct. A rallying cry.

Open up the US and LEAVE THE BORDERS CLOSED!!!

All hail Elon Musk. The man has got guts. And Trump usually pays heed to what he says.
Not to mention, everything he said is spot in.

[wally_bert]

I’m sure the idea has crossed a few minds.

Big mistake building any factory in California.
Shut it down. Move it to a deep red stat.

Tesla didn’t build it. It was built by Toyota and Tesla got a great deal on it.

Tesla has a huge battery factory in Nevada and they are looking to build a factory for Cybertruck somewhere in the middle of the country.

Actually the Fremont plant was a GM facility. Then Toyota.

[HotKat]

I’ve totally changed my mind about this guy

[wjcsux]

My 1967 GTO was assembled in Fremont.

[mad_as_he$$]

Why else do you think there is a sudden rash of ChiCom Flu™ outbreaks at meat packing plants?
