County officials are elected in Alameda. There is the County Central Committee, County Council and the County Supervisors which all have elected members.
Another person elected is Elon Musk, elected by the board of Tesla and not their workers.
Which of these two are more aligned with the needs of the people of Alameda? Why should Tesla policy supersede this ever?
To your second point, Costco is an essential service. It’s not safe for them either.
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoThe interim health officer dr.erica pan who Elon musk named in his tweet is not elected. Elon musk is not forcing anyone to work. Are liquor shops and smoke shops ‘essential.’? They are open too. Factories need to be open. They are not like other places of work. It is possible to maintain social distance and more effectively than at a Costco warehouse. At Tesla, they work next to and with robots. At the end of the day, I support Elon Musk because I know how Alameda County operates. He can’t do anything worse.
- birdyrooster 6y agoNon-partisan experts are doing what they are paid to do. The reason liquor shops and smoke shops are essential is because there would be an immediate, unregulated and untaxed black market. Not only would it be a public health concern because you cannot regulate how business is done, but it would create an avenue for organized crime to take advantage of the situation. I don't see any black market Tesla factories popping up in response to the closure in Fremont.
