#2Workers are saying "please don't offer our jobs back because then we won't get unemployment benefits".

#3I'm a foreigner so I don't fully understand this, but here's my take:
1) Tesla is restarting the factory against local rules saying they can't, because their competition is in different localities with their local rules saying they can, and Tesla is at a disadvantage.
2) It's basically illegal for the workers to go to work, but Tesla is still insisting they do this?
3) the local council has said they won't do enforcement.
4) If the staff refuse (a potentially unsafe) order from Tesla to return to their jobs (to break the law) the govt will stop paying unemployment?
So, my understanding, the workers have to potentially risk their health and break the law or the govt won't pay them unemployment?
Have I made a mistake?
That's a messed up situation for those workers. Does Cali do anything like suspended sentences(you get sentenced to prison, but you don't have to go, but if you do another crime you have to go for both durations)? Would this impact workers in that situation?

#5Elon is playing with fire. This is punk mentality - let's get as close to self destruction as possible. It's OK to make decisions for yourself but health of others?

There's no scenario in which the workers get charged with anything as they are not breaking any laws.
If a health department finds that a restaurant is too dirty to operate, they don't jail the workers or the workers but fine or shutdown the restaurant.
This is a similar kind of an order - the best county could do is to fine Tesla or shut them down.

You're not missing anything. The local county has already said they won't prosecute the workers for violating the health order since Elon Musk is making them choose between their health or their livelihoods.
It's also unlikely the local county or state will prosecute Elon Musk since it's difficult to pinpoint the actual criminal violation he could be charged with.
However, it's very likely that Musk will be sued in civil court by one or more of his (ex) employees. There are a variety of different legal claims they could make, so it's hard to say what the outcome would be.

#9Elon Musk is the guy who bets his house at the roulette table. It’s been working out for him so far but one day he’s going to step into some shit his money can’t get him out of and it’s going to be entirely his own fault.

No presumption, but demand outstrips supply for teslas so they are always atleast a few months behind, and now probably much more.
