Elon Musk has been frustrated that Tesla’s Fremont factory has remained shut down due to Alameda County’s lockdown order, and that anger has apparently reached the boiling point. Musk has claimed that he’ll move Tesla’s headquarters to Nevada or Texas “immediately” as a result of Alameda County’s decision to keep the Fremont factory shut through May. He also threatened to pull all manufacturing from Fremont “depending on how Tesla is treated in the future.”

On top of this, Musk said Tesla would sue the county for allegedly defying “the Governor, the President, our Constitutional freedoms & just plain common sense.”

The entrepreneur has made his displeasure with the Fremont shutdown clear on more than one occasion, including on Twitter and in a profanity-laced outburst in an earning call where he called lockdown safety measures an attack on freedom.

We’ve asked the company if it can elaborate on Musk’s statements. If he follows through, however, it could significantly affect the automotive and technology industries.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope California extends it to September. Tesla moving to TX/NV would be great.

Honestly, I am not certain why this move has not happened sooner.  I know CA is the biggest market for EVs, but I don’t see that changing even if Tesla’s HQ moved.

Elon Musk is one of the biggest hypocrites who takes billions of taxpayer dollars from the government and then pretends he hates the system.

It’s not just taxpayer dollars he is exploiting.  Elon Musk is truly a modern day pied piper.

He's exactly what many businessmen do nowadays, use taxpayers as collateral and take off when there's profit to be made elsewhere. It's just apparently acceptable whether its green garbage or sports entertainment. Nonetheless, California's political lunacy being injected into business is driving them away, which I think is the emphasis of the article. It's become an exodus for anyone who wants sanity. I feel bad for people throughout much of the state who wanted no part of it, but are stuck. I just hope they understand their chances are better if they exercise their right to move elsewhere.
