Tesla CEO Elon Musk has filed a litigation against Alameda County, California, after the neighbourhood public health department blocked him from resuming business at the company’s manufacturing plant in Fremont this past Friday.
The suit argues that Alameda County, where Tesla’s headquarters are based, empowered itself to close firms, under the menace of penalties or prison hour, that quantity critical infrastructure even after deeming them as essential, are consistent with a copy posted by Third Row Tesla on Twitter.
The lawsuit also notes that Tesla’s facilities in neighboring San Joaquin County have not been subject to the same limiteds, despite both counties having “substantially similar” coronavirus death rates and infection rates.
After the Twitter account posted a transcript of the lawsuit, Musk replied: “I’m not messing around. Absurd& medically irrational behaviour in violation of constitutional civil liberties, moreover by* unelected* county officials with no accountability, needs to stop.”

Lily Mei, the mayor of Fremont, California, came out in support of Tesla resuming business so long as they were committed to finding a “thoughtful, balanced approach.”
The mayor’s statement comes after Musk smashed Alameda County and announced today that his corporation would move its headquarters and unspecified programs out of California. The Tesla CEO also said he would consider moving the entire manufacturing process out of Fremont depending on “how Tesla is treated in the future.”
Dr. Erica Pan, the interim public health office for Alameda County, said during an online town hall on Friday that Tesla did not have “the green light” to resume runnings, according to CNBC.
Early Saturday morning, when Musk tweeted his plans to move the company, the Tesla CEO referred to an “ignorant” unnamed “Interim Health Officer” who was acting contrary to “plain common sense.”
Tesla is filing a suit against Alameda County immediately. The unelected& ignorant “Interim Health Officer” of Alameda is acting contrary to the Governor, the President, our Constitutional liberties& just plain common sense!

Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/ Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.

In a statement after Musk’s tweets, Neetu Balrum, a public information administrator for Alameda County, told NBC News that they’ve been working with Tesla on a “good faith effort” to reopen the factory.
” Tesla has been responsive to our guidance and recommendations, and we are pleased to coming to an agreement on an adequate security project very soon ,” said Balrum.
