Probably I'm just out of the loop, but I don't see how this is relevant. My understanding is that the point of the linked feed is that rules do apply to Tesla: it should stop operations, because it is not essential business (which is quite fair). So, yeah, I'm surprised that people are surprised as well, but in the exactly opposite way: it's weird they assume Tesla should be special somehow. Or am I missing something and Tesla did not stop operations for some reason? I'm just not seeing it mentioned anywhere.

You probably missed the earlier story, which is that Tesla believed they had obtained special permission to continue normal operations as an "essential business": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22607357 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22607357 This story is that Alameda County has since made clear that Tesla is not an "essential business" and is only allowed to "maintain minimum basic operations": https://www.kron4.com/news/alameda-county-officials-determine-tesla-is-not-an-essential-business-can-maintain-minimum-basic-operations/ https://www.kron4.com/news/alameda-county-officials-determin.... Presumably Tesla will comply with this?
