After refusing to run his factory because of Corona ... Elon Musk threatens to move Tesla operations out of California

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, announced on Twitter on Saturday that the company is preparing to file a lawsuit against Alameda County and will move its headquarters and future operations outside of California. 

Tesla had planned to start work again at its factory in this county in Vermont, in which the company manufactures vehicles for Europe and North America, which was scheduled for Friday.

But dr. Erika Ban, the provincial public health official, said on Friday that orders to contain an outbreak of the Corona virus in the region are still valid, and that Tesla does not have a "green light" to resume vehicle production at the main auto plant in the United States and in California so far. 

"We are working with them, looking at some of their safety plans, and we have some recommendations," said the interim official.

"Tesla will file a lawsuit against Alameda County right away. The unelected and ignorant temporary health worker is acting in a manner contrary to the ruler," Musk is angry .

"Frankly, this is the last straw ... Tesla will now move its headquarters and future programs to Texas / Nevada immediately. Our survival in Vermont will depend on how we handle Tesla in the future," he added. 

Musk, who has more than 33 million on Twitter, also encouraged shareholders to file a lawsuit against the boycott. "Tesla knows a lot more about what needs to be done to be safe through our factory experience in China. We have more than one (junior) temporary junior official in Alameda County," he said. 

The company said Alameda's decision contravened federal constitutions and the California constitution, as well as challenging the ruler's order. Tesla had already filed a lawsuit against her at the Federal Court in San Francisco on Saturday, describing the continuing restrictions as a "power grab" by the district since the California governor said Thursday that state manufacturers will be allowed to reopen it.

Alameda is slated to remain closed until the end of May, with only basic works allowed to be reopened. The province said it was not considered Tesla to be a basic business. 

Alameda responded with a statement saying that the Health Care Services Agency and the Department of Public Health are working closely with Tesla in Fremont on a safety plan, "They aim to reopen Tesla while protecting the health of the thousands of employees who travel to and from the factory."

"We look forward to reaching agreement on an appropriate safety plan very soon," said the province, without giving specifics about the timetable. "We appreciate that our residents and companies have made tremendous sacrifices and that together we have managed to save lives and protect the health of society in our region. We need to continue to work together so that those sacrifices are not lost and we keep our gains."

Who is the responsible doctor?
Although Musk described the doctor as "ignorant", Ban has deep experience in both public health and infectious diseases, among other things.

According to her CV on Linkedin, Ban graduated from Tufts Medical College, completed residency and fellowship at UCSF and worked in the Public Health Department of Alameda County since 2011 and also as a doctor and professor.

Ban previously worked for six years as director of so-called bioterrorism and emergencies for infectious diseases at the San Francisco Public Health Department.

"The mayor of Vermont is afraid of the economy
after a series of angry tweets from Mask," Mayor Vermont Leila May said, "With the continued precautionary restrictions on the work of manufacturing companies, such as Tesla, I am concerned about the potential effects on the local economy." 

She also specifically expressed support for Tesla, and urged the county authorities to "develop acceptable guidelines" to help Tesla and others reopen their businesses.

And told a staff of Tesla at its plant network at the Fairmont "CNBC" that he can not describe his feelings about the Tweets mask on Saturday. 

This employee, who asked not to be named, said that many of his colleagues prefer the CEO to cooperate with the province, to ensure the safety of the factory, and to reopen it as soon as possible. 

Tesla did not respond to a request for more information about Mask's remarks about plans to transfer the company's activity outside of California.
