In Northern California, billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk has restarted work at Tesla’s huge electric vehicle factory in Fremont, daring government officials to arrest him for violating a coronavirus lockdown. On Tuesday, President Trump tweeted, “California should let Tesla & @elonmusk open the plant, NOW. It can be done Fast & Safely!” Elon Musk tweeted back, “Thank you!” Musk has repeatedly downplayed the threat of the coronavirus and called government-imposed quarantines “fascist.”
