Tesla CEO Elon Musk lambasts 'fascist' coronavirus stay-in-place orders

Tesla CEO Elon Musk assailed the social distancing measures in place over the past several weeks in the electric car-maker’s home state of California and across the country, which led to a weeks-long closure at the company’s flagship Fremont factory.

“If somebody wants to stay in their house, that's great,” Musk added. “They should be allowed to stay in the house, and they should not be compelled to leave. But to say that they cannot leave their house, and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist. This is not democratic. This is not freedom.”The remarks doubled down on Musk’s earlier calls to reopen businesses and operations after weeks of country-wide social distancing measures.

“We are absolutely continuing our Model Y capacity expansion at full speed at both Giga Berlin and Giga Shanghai and here in Fremont when they will let us continue,” Musk said during the analyst call. Earlier this week, a string of counties in the San Francisco Bay Area extended their lockdown through at least the end of May, impacting millions of constituents. And in a recent Twitter post, California Governor Gavin Newsom said that California “can only keep flattening the curve if we stay home and practice physical distancing.”

Yeah it’s easy for all those filthy rich mother fuckers who don’t live normal lives to give their opinions. They don’t have to be in public to get a paycheck.

cherokeesher2 i m surprised that he himself is not on the floor cranking out cars by himself.

I wouldn't know if you didn't tell me Why is every shit and harm newsworthy

Every time Elon opens his mouth I am reminded why I will never buy a Tesla

Musk wants his auto sales to go back up and if it means you and your family have to die to make that happen, he's cool with that.

Add fascism to the list of things someone as otherwise smart as Elon should understand, but alas does not.

He’s absolutely correct.

ooh ooh now do apartheid elon

This clown needs to pay back the $1 billion USD he accepted from NYS.

So Elon's an epidemiologist now? Who cares what he thinks on this.

So Elon Musk is actually the douche he portrays. Got it.

I want my tax dollars back from this jackhole.

He’s a spoiled brat.

Not buying a Tesla ever.

Who cares?

Jesus! What the fuck do you want? Do you want people to die just to protect your business bottom line? Have you not heard of the expression for the greater good? This is one time were you just need to shut up mate.

He’s right.
