"dogmatic and not evidence driven" this is false and there is plenty of evidence to be concerned about factories as they are one of the primary vectors of spread in the post-lock-down world. All over North America, the food-related factories that have remained open have become cause for outbreak. Here's a shortlist of the breakouts in Canada [1]. Cargill plants alone are responsible for a material % of those infected in Canada. "A Tesla factory is a much safer place to be than a Home Depot or a Costco" First, where is the evidence, second our 'food supply' is definitely an essential service, wheras Tesla factories are probably last on the list of 'things we need to re-open' to get going. From a PR perspective, Musk is setting himself up for big trouble - odds are there will be some kind of outbreak, and even if his decision is not a factor, some Tesla employee, somewhere may die from Covid and then he will get blamed. The CNN headline will read: "Tesla worker dies of Covid-19 after Musk orders plant re-opened" Musk already has enough bad news, this is going to be and existentially problematic meme. Mabye Musk is not the great businessman they say, because if it was, he'd realize that his customers are highly motivated by his 'green' / 'good' cause and that there is an incredibly amount of goodwill in his customer base. Tesla would not exist without this kind of goodwill (i.e. celebrities waiting 18 months for delivery, bragging on Twitter about it). Instead of playing the 'Trump Card' on Twitter and getting people back to work, using 'The Constitution' style rhetoric, he should be playing some other card, like signalling how much his workers are important to him, how he's going to have 'special healthcare' for all Covid-related issues, how he's going to provide full pay for anyone hit by Covid, and provide extra vacay days for those who have family members hit by Covid - etc.. Musk is burning a lot of goodwill here and for what potential upside? He can open a factory a few weeks early? The County has even indicated that they are 'ok' with the factory re-opening so long as they've approved his plan. So basically he's getting into an international war over whether or not county officials should have a say in his 'special COVID plans'? Where is the ROI on this action? I think Musk might be starting to cave under the constant stress and constant grind.
