President Tesla Trump agrees to reopen factory without permission from local government 5:58 on May 13
American electric vehicle maker "Tesla" has decided to restart the factory that had been suspended due to the new coronavirus without the permission of the local government. President Trump made a statement in support of Tesla's decision, urging the local authorities to allow it to resume.
California relaxed some of its economic activity restrictions this month, but Alameda County in the state continues to have tighter restrictions and does not allow factories to resume.
Under these circumstances, electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla has decided to restart the factory in Alameda County, which had been suspended since the end of March, this week without permission from the county.
About this, President Trump posted on Twitter on 12th that "Tesla's factory should be restarted. It can be restarted safely and quickly," and urged local governments to allow the restart early.
Regarding this problem, Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has said that if the factory cannot be restarted, he will move the company to another area, and the situation is confronting companies and local governments regarding the resumption of economic activities.
In the United States, local governments are divided about the resumption of economic activity, but President Trump is eager to resume early as the unemployment rate hits the worst ever.
