getting that bonus and then running it into the ground before bad decisions catch up to him would be a clever plan but i dont know if his ego could handle it. using the jobs of employees is a pretty lovely way to do it though. not that rules apply to musk but are there laws protecting the employees or legal action making them come in?

he literally hasn't been held accountable for anything to date so why isn't the very simple explanation of, 'he can't be told no' not sufficient here?

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
oh good i'm glad he's decided to take one for his team and ask that they aren't arrested, something over which he has no control

now all they have to fear is losing their job, losing their benefits, and the risk of catching the disease, three much more immediate concerns over which he has absolute control

what a great guy

employees that don’t show up to work face the possibility of being fired for not being at work. employees that do face the possibility of catching a deadly virus or being arrested.

they should put him in LA county

then again while he’s tweeting all this in LA the factory is in Fremont so maybe they should put him in alameda county since he’s breaking the law here

the alameda sheriffs office is infested with white supremacists so he should fit right in

The reasons for not restarting production seem to be dogmatic and not evidence driven. Tesla is running the factory at a 30-40% capacity, and the Fremont factory has 5.3 million square feet of manufacturing and office space. Tesla claims their plan will ensure 6 ft of distance for every employee, and PPE and masks are provided and mandatory. Even the HVAC is changed to optimise for fresh air turnover and filters are changed on a regular basis.

Tesla's full list is available here: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/blog_attachments/T...

A Tesla factory is a much safer place to be than a Home Depot or a Costco, and many other businesses open in California today. We aren't talking about sporting events here: we're talking about some of the lowest risk and unavoidable interactions.

Carmakers are also defined as a COVID19 critical industry, and every other carmaker manufacturing in the United States is either open, or capable of open today. This puts Tesla at a serious disadvantage.

This is locking down for the sake of locking down, not an evidence-first safety driven approach. That is something I cannot support.

You must also take into account the history of intentional civil disobedience where the government has over reached and the population simply reaches the point where it refuses to comply.

Prohibition is obviously a prime example of this, but if you consider various laws that once existed or are currently on the books but no longer enforced (think laws pertaining to racial segregation, sexuality, drug use, and such) you realize that being a law abiding citizen does not mean you are no longer allowed to think for yourself. Read up on "Jury Nullification" or "Jury Equity
