You don't think a controversial, SV darling CEO suing to allow his non essential business to open amidst a pandemic is notable?
What about his public attacks on the civil servants involved in determine the rules for public safety?
What about the fact he's decrying "unelected officials" and "fascism" in the US,while praising the CCP and expanding Chinese production?
It's unbelievable people continue to defend this man here.
- pmorici 6y agoIf the factory is operating safely in China w/o employees getting sick why isn’t it possible in the USA?
- newacct583 6y agoObjectively it's because the Chinese outbreak is well controlled at this point without lockdown measures. Alameda isn't there yet, though the Bay Area is closer than many areas in the US which are still growing.
- pmorici 6y agoThe Chinese outbreak was much less controlled when they allowed the China factory to reopen.
- aguyfromnb 6y agoWhat does one thing have to do with the other? The public health officials who, believe it or not know more about this than Elon Musk,said they want specific metrics met before opening. Period. So Elon did what he does and is bullying them. He called the public health official in charge, a pediatrician at Oakland's Childrens Hospital "ignorant" and "unelected". His horrible fanbase is loving it,and spamming the Alameda County offices with complaints. Why doesn't he say that about the officials in China? He'd be out on his ass, that's why.
- pmorici 6y agoBecause it shows that in a country with a bad outbreak a factory of similar makeup can be operated without exacerbating an outbreak. They reopened the factory in China well before cases were zero in China.
- georgeburdell 6y agoDo you have a source where he specifically praised the CCP? This is surprising to hear.
- aguyfromnb 6y agoWhy is it surprising? Google it, it's been going on for years. Do you think the CCP just builds factories for or loans money to anyone?
