Its CEO Tesla Inc Elon Musk threatened to move Tesla's only electric car plant in the United States from California yesterday.
Όall this because the local authorities prevent him from immediately restarting production due to the pandemic.
He referred to Tesla's experience in China, where its plant reopened as soon as the Covid-19 pandemic was brought under control.
«Tesla knows a lot more about what to do (to restart production) with any safety, thanks to the experience gained at our Tesla plant in China, by a temporary employee, not even an elected oneSaid the capricious billionaire with contempt.
He also said he would file a lawsuit "immediately" against Alamenda County, near San Francisco, where the plant is located, accusing authorities of being "irrational and detached from reality."
"The ignorant and unelected official 'temporary health worker' of Alamenda County opposes the orders of the governor, the president, our constitutional rights and common sense!" .
Musk was re-released on May 1, causing Tesla Inc to plunge more than 10% into the New York Stock Exchange, following a series of posts that described the stock price as "very high."
Late last month, again in a teleconference with economic analysts, he described as "fascist" and "anti-democratic" the travel restrictions imposed on the United States to stem the coronavirus epidemic.
The company's Fremont plant has been closed since March 12. However, Tesla achieved an otherwise successful quarter that surprised many investors, with profits of $ 16 million, a 33% increase in car deliveries and a 32% turnover to $ 5,99 billion, while other automakers have been hit by reduction of demand and mandatory closure of factories.
