#2Contrary to what Tesla told Alameda County, the Tesla factory is (illegally) in full production, producing cars sitting on Pier 80 for export to Europe and China. https://tslaq.org/letter-from-the-saf-to-alameda-county-offi...
That’s not an essential activity; it’s just greedily risking California lives to serve luxury car consumers abroad. I’m not surprised that California is none too happy with Elon.

California is absolutely within their right to withhold these funds. Musk is well within his right to relocate his businesses to Texas (SpaceX engine facility in McGregor is a ~90 minute drive from Austin, ~2 hrs from Dallas) or another favorable state when the next Gigafactory is sited. Let rational actors go through their motions.

So are we going to ban all cars now? Average automobile deaths are ~30k per year. They're non essential. Let's all stop driving. "do whatever it takes to save lives"

The illegal act is arbitrarily shutting down the ability to earn a livelihood. When these cases make their way through the courts I’m thinking they’re going to side with the Musks, not the Newsoms.

Call me crazy, but I don't think people should be threatened with starvation if they don't work

They can collect California unemployment if it’s illegal for them to work. Many will receive more cash than if they were on the line.
