Freedom for America Now ... Elon Musk calls for breaking the ban and the tweeters are responding to it

Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, announced his opposition to the closures imposed in many places in the United States currently due to the outbreak of the Corona virus, and demanded that Americans be given their freedom.

Today, Wednesday, Musk tweeted on his Twitter account of 3.3 million people saying "America is free now", shortly after he tweeted two links to two stories about the feasibility of the closings.

Mask posted a link to an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal arguing that the data shows that the closures are not saving many lives, and linking another news story about Texas retailers and restaurants and other companies that reopened on Friday.

Musk backed a tweet from a Twitter user, who commented, "The most terrifying thing about this epidemic is not the virus itself, but that the American sees bending easily and giving up his freedom whose blood has paid for corrupt politicians who promise him safe."

The tweets attracted a large number of negative opinions, as one commentator claimed that Musk was "drunk with power", and another advised him "to go to sleep", and there were some Twitter users who praised his tweet for being "against the tyranny of the government."

Musk's previous tweets about the coronavirus pandemic sparked much controversy, with one suggesting to use unproven treatment, and in another he claimed that children were "fundamentally immune" against the virus, and considered "panic from the stupid virus."

Tesla was forced to close its factory in Fremont, California, due to closure orders in Alameda County.

Some of Musk's recent comments echo the slogans of pro-US President Donald Trump and anti-closure demonstrators in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and elsewhere, which have demanded that states reopen them.

Tesla is expected to announce its quarterly earnings after the markets closed on Wednesday. It is likely that the closures due to the Corona virus have affected the company's business in the first quarter of 2020, and may have a greater impact on sales in the second quarter.
