Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) is re-opening its plant in California today.
The move defies an Alameda County order that restricts Tesla from operating the Tesla manufacturing line.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter to explain . . .
“Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.”
California’s governor has authorized local governments to manage the re-opening of manufacturing.
Meanwhile, Musk is growing impatient with the local government. The county has said that it hopes to develop a plan for re-opening by May 18.
Many CEOs and business owners across America are growing impatient with the government shutdown.
Most businesses are abiding by state and local mandates. Others are proceeding with “business as usual” in spite of the restrictions.
