書き起こし
One of the world’s most influential businessmen is taking on the government over its coronavirus lockdown. Elon Musk says on twitter he has reopened his factory in California in violation of local government orders. Chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt has the latest.
After railing for weeks against California’s restrictions on manufacturing, Elon Musk restarted production at his California plant on Monday, tweeting "I will be on the line with everybody else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me."
With the Tesla factory shutdown, revenue obviously is falling fast. While other auto companies are reopening production lines. Among them, Toyota and Indiana today. General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler and Michigan either late this week or early next.
But officials in Alameda county California, like many of the bay area, are moving slowly, arguing Tesla first needs to show it can operate safely. California governor Gavin Newsom back to those county health officials but said he believed progress is being made.
My belief and hope and expectation is as early as next week they will be able to resume.
But Tesla has filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing the Alameda county health department of overstepping federal and and state restrictions. While Elon Musk once again took to twitter Saturday, writing "Frankly this is the final straw. Tesla will move its HQ and future programs to texas/nevada immediately." California assemblywoman and former labor leader Lorena Gonzalez fired back with this tweet.
Musk replied message received.
Experts saying that while Musk may want to move production out of California it would cost a fortune and take anywhere from 12 to 18 months. Musk certainly has the money, those same experts argue, but does he have the time?
