Musk had spoken out about government restrictions on citizens during the coronavirus pandemic earlier on Twitter, but further expressed his opinion on Wednesday's call while encouraging government officials to invest in infrastructure. He praised China for having "much better" infrastructure than the U.S.
"This is the time to think about the future, and also to ask, is it right to infringe upon people's rights as what is happening right now?" Musk said. "I think the people are going to be very angry about this and are very angry. It's like somebody should be, if somebody wants to stay in the house that's great, they should be allowed to stay in the house and they should not be compelled to leave. But to say that they cannot leave their house, and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist. This is not democratic. This is not freedom. Give people back their goddamn freedom.
At another point on the call, he said, "So the expansion of the shelter in place or as frankly I would call it forcibly imprisoning people in their homes, against all their constitutional rights, is my opinion, and breaking people's freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong, and not why people came to America or built this country, excuse me. It's outrage, it's an outrage. It will cause loss, great, great harm, but not just to Tesla, but any company.
He looks a little unstable
I wasn't happy with his rant, all he had to do was try to compromise a system where it would make a safe workplace within the parameters of a virus being around. Some non essential businesses are open, but have to do so in a manner of being capable of not getting sued elonmusk
stockholders should be scared that this man has absolutely no filter, or even common sense. It’s only a matter of time before he destroys what he is trying to build .
ThinkTankCharts But he is right...
But was he correct?.....we think so
I get it! elonmusk will build a spaceship to go to Mars, but he won't be in it. He wants to reactivate his factories, but he won't be on the manufacturing floor. If you are so sure of your point, become a volunteer at a hospital to handle incoming patients. Show the world!
ThinkTankCharts Well he's correct
Just say no
How much will the surely coming SEC sanction lower TSLA’s stock valuation after he said the price was too high? I thought he was banned from making comments like this. 😬
And then he moved back to South Africa to take advantage of their ample talent and resources?
Anger management for both elonmusk and realDonaldTrump.
It’s true
He should smoke another blunt
Of course , for him is all about $&$ , fucker
Stop giving this nitwit attention. There is much more information of importance to report on.
Wait but he praised China? They were the first ones to lockdown. If his factory was in Wuhan it would have the same issues.
I agree with him. All for a virus that has a .1-.2% fatality rate and is likely going to be around for at least 2 years. Meanwhile the CDC somehow can’t figure out if the virus has killed 60,000 people or 30,000 people? Um... I’m starting to wonder what is really going on here.
He may have talent, but he has a crazy streak.
'Stable Genius?'
He needs to smoke some more weed with Joe Rogen
Can’t wait for when you write an article about how I should listen to his pocketbook wisdom
This happened almost a week ago. Is the news just gonna keep reposting this story until Twitter grabs their pitchforks or what?
elonmusk is doing this while he and pregnant gf are safely quarantined. You don’t see him anywhere. Wise up folks, he is using people as pawns for his own gain. Tell him to go out with his pregnant gf and show us it is safe.
Government works for HIM/the people. But of course we forget. It’s not “lashing”
He said fuck. ONCE.
Ok Elon. Your plan is......?
He’s a Nazi, yes? lethalweapon2
elonmusk is a fascist!
He's right.
That’s all he cares about is those earnings.
He’s not wrong though
Can't believe that someone like Elon Musk doesn't know the fascist definition..
So the whole world is fascist then!!! Sad to see Musk acts like the 1%
elonmusk He hasn’t apologized yet!; I’m done with tesla. Not buying another product or telling them what to improve. Every other car company should eat his lunch! Thanks for getting us this far, but it’s clear your judgement is impaired by money.
What’s eating you? Is it a China?
$$$$$
Genius 🙄
Maybe this ass should go to Chicago, Detroit, NJ or NYC and donate money for real burials of those who are not identified.
Dang, he's not that bright. Got lucky, huh? In the middle of this deadly pandemic, 'forcibly imprisoning people in their homes.” is not an accurate description. For the national interest, the 'stay-a-home' orders are in place so that people are alive to purchase your product.
Heath Care workers should not be forced to put their lives at risk to care for people neglecting the over-explained risks of this virus.
I’m done defending this nut
Absolutely true.... let people go to work... Corona is just a disease as any other...
I want what Elon is smoking
Ohh, because he 'makes so much money from this' you think this is only to serve his private business motors of mo'money$! ...-_-?...
He's right.
He is right
I used to need one of those new Tesla ventilators, but now I think I'm going to buy a GM.
Maybe he should use his financial resources & social network contacts to his advantage to stop the formation of New World Order... To prove he is against the Establishment & gain Public trust , support & confidence
Used to like elon.
He’s simply saying what honestly about 80% of people of thinking
rich kids are just so cute, with their big words and moral outrage. lol
Wow, and I had been considering a new TSLA. Thanks for the heads up. I'll find something else.
This philosophy of freedom as a constitutional right is ethnocentric to the USA. Other countries (eg Australia, New Zealand) are more concerned with minimizing deaths in health workers, flattening the curve, creating solutions for business. Musk’s indignation is driven by greed.
Musk just another in a too long line of financially successful people who are utter morons in the social/civic realm.
Why is it intolerablefor covid19 Deaths and we will take the most drastic measures the world has ever seen to control a virus but we are seemingly very comfortable with 480,000 deaths from smoking and 41,000 from second hand smoke in the US alone?
Really dude?
People who want to protect their health / lives have rights as well. This self-serving egomaniac wants to force his employees back to work, regardless of risk, to make more money for himself. He could care less about rights or freedom. It’s that simple.
Are you going to be in the factory?
I guess you better move to Mars, Mr Musk. Where you can start your own race of killer robots.
Elon’s on fire lately!!!
He should host a party at his house for families of the sick. I'm sure THEY would like to get out of their house and visit his. Tesla CEO Elon Musk lashed out at stay-at-home orders as “fascist” in an expletive-laced rant on Tesla’s earnings call.
🤦🏽♂️ he’s on a cocaine rampage again? SMH
CNBC I have no words left to describe how terrible you are. Just going to unfollow because you aren’t worth it.

guzlomi Well, if staying at home is fascist, then better I start holding rallies out back and goose stepping for the neighbors.
Elon is showing that even though in some ways he’s brilliant he’s also pretty much an idiot. Remember, he told us in late February early March that the virus is no big deal.
Good for elonmusk ......orders are “fascist” indeed.
Sounds like another billionaire/inventor could use a piece of shrapnel dangerously close to his heart to provide a bit of perspective.
Can we stop lifting petulant, whining man-boys into positions of power and admiration? I know, it’s a lot to ask.
I wish he'd just focus on tech. The future of mankind hangs on this guy. Focus.
Imagine if it weren't mandatory in the United States，the pandemic maybe worse
Who cares about him.
Elon Musk as moved on, can you?
Define 'laced'. I was on the call. Only one expletive that I recall.
A coked up billionaire upset that his employees aren’t working and getting sick...cool
For a smart man, he sure is dumb.
Go Elon. None of you reporters have enough courage to look at the numbers and ask questions. All you reporters care about is drama and ratings. Shame on you! And yes we have chicken in stores. jimcramer
freedom，or more deaths?
He isn’t lying though!
Musk wants his factory workers to have the freedom to build Teslas.
GetVidBot
We have all talked out our asses before!
He's stoned!
Wow! The man wants to sell his cars! Screw the potential victims of the virus! That’s what I read!
Liar
The left’s Jesus is just a crony capitalism prick and uses words that are extremes that are not nearly accurate. Profit over people for him and so many others.
Where was he when China ordered lockdown in Shanghai where Tesla factory is located.?
A cry in the wilderness.
I didn't see an entrepreneur with a different idea so far. Not that I don't agree with coming back in a prudent way. But selling cars for those who are dying is pushing a little.
Yeah, he isn't wrong.
Yeah. Thats what a few million Americans that actually understand their civil rights have been saying for six weeks now.
It’s common sense to stay home as we fight a highly contagious & deadly virus. It’s only Fascist if we isolate those elderly & vulnerable for benefits of others. Many in 50s died. Elderly may imply anyone above 50s. Vulnerable may include those high blood, diabetes etc..
here is Tesla's Board of Directors
It is noble that Musk uses his soapbox as a captain of industry to make these pertinent points. For a modern democracy to be degraded to the autocratic political structure of a hospital would be the abnegation of our Constitutional Republic. Civil liberties must be restored!
He blinded by is greed, money over people well being. Something should be done to stop this man talking.
He’s right. It’s untenable in a free society.
Fuck Elon Musk.
I went outside today.... Thought you all should know,
Everyone, every country and every business has its opinion about the lockdown. Facts show that stay at home action has saved at least one life and it’s enough for me.
in an emergency we have to look at the country as a whole!!!
He’s right in every way, all you have to look at is the Data! Remember half of all Americans will get it ! We’re gunna have 2% of Americans will die ! Hospitals will be overwhelmed! They keep overestimating and under reporting
Elon Misk is disgusting. He's an American traitor. He opens monkeys brains for his nueralink company. Disgraceful.
Some frustration for not being able to make more money? Never enough? If he was born in the '30, he will know what means exactly fascism and that's far from a simple lockdown...
elonmusk has officially become the TomCruise of entrepreneurs. sigh It is interesting that he is using this tactic to manipulate his stock because he has almost every living dime invested in $TSLA Looks akin to a fantastic short or LEAPS options.
Elon Musk is having a mental breakdown, his rhetoric is dangerous, he is more concerned about his money and less concerned about people's lives and wellbeing. He is instigating chaos and fear, He is becoming too toxic and reckless to lead a company like Tesla. He needs to quit.
Well no shit . . .that's a no brainer . . .
Elon wants to make money. Have you seen him out with his pregnant gf? No, of course not, they are safely quarantined. But you as a worker, should go out, and do your job!
I couldn’t imagine having such an ego that it could never be filled. No amount of power or money will satisfy these folks. They live in their own personal hell.
im rooting for team covid to go after this sack of shit...
I lost my respect to elonmusk after this comment as sad to see he couldn’t evaluate people’s freedom vs. the greater good of staying alive!
Anyway Happy Friday comrades!!! Staying at home is Freedom, Going outside gets you arrested to help you!
It's ironic the West has all its citizens under house-arrest and the dinosaur Soviet Communist Belarus does not and people just do as they please. dance, sing, work, pull funny faces, and LIVE and the state propaganda machine unlike CNBC thinks freedom good idea and beyond debate
NaturalSelection at its finest ... go ahead, OPENAMERICANOW trumpkins will learn all about Darwinism.
It’s sad to see this kind of response coming form such an intelligent person😑 elonmusk
I Like Elon 10 times as much now. Glad he has the guts to say something.
After listening to California Governors conference today I feel we are headed for a depression. He shut down beaches again. He’s not going to open up the biggest economy in the US until after the election ! This economy is toast
It was a Corporate Temper Tantrum...
Musk is highly overrated. He is two steps away from insanity
I love Elon Musk and the fact that he stands up for liberty and also he stands up to Wall Street pricks.
Well... a paedophile would be against lockdowns... it limits his access to children.
If he’s that stupid I have grave fears for the cars he’s putting on the road. For that reason Elon.....I’m out.
Wtf is he talking about? Who's forcibly imprisoned in their home? Not us. We go to the stores once a week to make sure we have food. My wife is immuno-compromised. We don't go out more than that, but if we do need to go somewhere, we can.
Go Elon!
Thank goodness someone has the balls... this is after all a republic!
FREE 🌏
No pandemic whatsoever but we still need to get vaccinated i guess
He's not wrong
WHATS UP WITH THIS MORON. DID HE GET THE TRAITOR TRUMP FEVER TOO. I THOUGHT HE WAS SMARTER THAN THAT.
Pure greed with scant concern for human lives.
Translation: Poor need to go back to work and to continue to make me money
Filter ravings
How many times are you going to tweet this click-bait story today? So desperate.
Elon himself makes me want to buy Tesla stock.
elonmusk no offense but it’s mostly educated customers buying your cars, maybe going against the tide here. Just a thought.
Yes and the WHO just reversed their position on lockdowns. The WHO now says social distancing is more effective. It’s a position that Elon Musk and I have being saying for weeks. Why have the lockdown authoritarians not apologised and stepped aside yet?
Elons really aiming for top asshole of the week.
Elon needs to grow up already.
Go Elon Go!! Thank you!!
😂 I go out all the time and GovernorGavin Newsom is doing a great job!
I'm sure if elonmusk doesn't like the StayAtHome order, he can always go back to southAfrica..... JoeSquawk jimcramer carlquintanilla Lebeaucarnews
.elonmusk has lost his mission for human advancement to corporate greed like Thomas Edison.
He's damn right!
I love freedom to boycott his products.
Democrats tyranny coming to an end
Elon is a moron
Elon's right.
Where are the dam ventilators he said he was making
He's right
He is the biggest idiot I have heard about. Who cares for what you think.
We all say something stupid and inappropriate during our lifetime. It seems that is was elonmusk turn.
No longer following or watching Tired of the leg humping following that management has of this dictator in business and at best a blowhard. YOU continue to give him a platform for his ignorant rants - voting with my feet - done with you.
Fuck is wrong with this guy..
Let’s be serious BoredElonMusk . Why don’t u start taking subway in newyork and work with factory people for a while and see if it’s common sense to do it. You have good health coverage so you don’t have to worry for other part
Ok, but unfortunately if you chose to violate the suggestions then don't come looking for medical care if and when you get sick. Take a number behind those that truly sacrificed to prevent further spread.

Elon Musk may be a super rich guy who has done some big things, but that doesn’t make him not unstable & uninformed about public health risks. But hey if you want to believe him after the “pedo guy” tweet or the “funding secured” debacle, just don’t say you weren’t warned.
I completely agree with Elon. Have guidelines in place, recommendations, etc. but not force people to stay home.
Oh… my. 🥺 PLEASE tell me elonmusk hasn't initiated this kerfuffle just to reboot the machine…!
It is saving people's lives while you think only of profits, and the value of your shares.
anybody know of someone being arrested for leaving their home? Elon is not connected to how normal people live life. I my self just went on a bike ride yesterday and seen a lot of people out and about!
If keeping people at home is fascist then what is letting them spread a killer disease without doing anything at all?
Don't like it....bail.
People are having dreams turned into dust. It also happened during the 1st and 2nd WW. The economy and companies can be resurrected. People cannot. elonmusk take a deep breath and stay away from social media. You will need people behind you to rebuild.
Of course he thinks this way. He has a lot of money on the line. $TSLA There's a fine line between genius and insanity and he seems to jump back and forth from time to time
bruh
Musk, the great prognosticator
Hmm fascist seems a bit extreme.
It takes a massive amount of privilege to see shelter-in-place as “slavery” or “fascism”, especially since the most marginalized humans are being hit the worst and they don’t even have the option of staying home, many of them being essential workers keeping us fed and sustained.
*In John Madden’s voice* Here’s a guy deflecting from the dubious accounting in that last earnings release.
If I want to know about electric cars I’ll ask Elon, if I want to know about Coronavirus I’ll ask a fucking doctor
Liberate America!!!
elonmusk weren't you the intelligent one out there....? What went wrong
Sit down and shut up Elon!
Moron.
Trump has paved the way for Elon to make a presidential run ....and be taken seriously. Drink.
CNBC hacks love fascism.
Hey Elon. You dont think the US government wants people out and about spending money? 🤦🏼♂️ its science brother.
Coming from a billionaire who doesn’t have to go work
DON'T like this dude but i agree some of Americans people freedom are at threat by these socialist GOVERNORS.
Can I get a ride to Mars. Or. Can I command one of those terminators. Or. Dont implant me, bro.
You’d think he’d want to talk about the great results. 🤔
Support him, he is honest
Elon Musk, who is not a scuba diver, & knew nothing about the narrow & tortuous passage that trapped 12 young soccer players & their coach in a flooded cave in Thailand. That didn’t stop him from claiming that he would build a submarine to rescue them. Stay in your lane, Elon!
Yes the people with enough money to stay safe must be livid
His money hungry mentality is careless.
Our layabout billionaire is probably drunk. Typical. While his hired engineers make things happen he spouts off on this phone. Billionaires are a sickness.
I can't believe Elon Musk would so brazenly speak his mind, that's a first
Sue
One of the only CEOs with the courage to say what I imagine most are thinking.
Elon Musk built a new Tesla factory in China well after news broke of the Uighur concentration camps. Elon doesn't really care if something is 'fascist' or authoritarian, he only cares about himself and his profits. Stop worshipping him
He is absolutely spot on!
hettinga He's not wrong..
what a big baby
pedo guy
If you don't want to join a crowded beach alongside a pandemic, I'd say you're brighter then a scarecrow. But if you do, I'd say that's your choice. People need to stop trying to solve issues through regulations, and start solving them by having some common sense.
Once again powerful people valuing business over human lives
I believe he meant totalitarian. His business, along with most in this country are fascist.
He should smoke another blunt instead
Elon needs to go back to school and read the Decleration of Independence! The first unalienable right is the right to life! Which means no one has the right to deprive you of life by freely spreading a virus! Liberty has limits, in that you can’t infringe in others rights!
Is he on drugs?
True
I am a supporter of Tesla, but I really disagree with you. A lot of seniors might not be alive without shelter in place? “THE NEEDS OF THE MANY OUT WEIGH THE NEEDS OF THE FEW OR THE ONE”! I know you know where that quote came from.
Yup
He is right? We have more infected, more deaths than any other country, and you still believe he's correct? 😂😂😂 BUNCHOFIGNORANTS
He's ABSOLUTELY right!!
You mean the South African blood miner thinks his inconvenience is the equivalent of a brutal form of far right government? Maybe this guy isn’t a great thinker.
This is the type of management that should not have liability waived.
CCP literally saved 15+ st. yrs of losing $ co. from bk filing last yr. Now their running show dog is on brink of cashing a $700m+ payday contingent upon a totally manipulated share price is calling 🇺🇸 fascists - Well that's rich.
He’s an ass
You know you don't have to repeat every nonsense celebrities say who are irrelevant to the subject matter?
Perhaps SIG maybe DRW? Is an option market maker attempting to inflate theprice of UAA stock this morning? Why keep a hanging bid out there .03 above yesterday’s close as the DOW falls - and it will fall 500 points today. Criminal manipulation at work
In line with his past behavior!!
The orders are fascist! The people should be allowed to decide on their own whether to quarantine. Private business should decide on its own whether to stay open. stopthefear letthepeopledecide
Definitely not desperate to get his plant opened.... plenty of cash
This guy just lost my respect
Elon-Stoned_18.jpg
Bang on true
Has he been hitting the ambien again?
Elon needs to see Rogan again. He’s way too high strung right now
The jerk in him has never been too far below the surface.
That's not exactly what he said.
Quarantine the sick, not the healthy. There is something statistically VERY WRONG about New York City that’s shutting the rest of the World down. I think Musk is simply reading the data and concluding it doesn’t make sense.
Good. Not like you at CNBC he tells it like it is. the truth
Elon is right you know
How convenient playing Good Cop vs Bad Cop. Problem - Reaction - Solution. Agenda still intact.
Billionaires shouting FREE AMERICA NOW ... for Billionaires. I’m not surprised. Ppl who can afford Tesla have no problem getting testing & healthcare. Elon knows his market well.
That s how i feel too!

elonmusk is right. Read and weep 🐑
Dang, Elon falling pretty hard. Sad, really.
Look at all these cowards getting their pantys up in a bunch 😂

What, Enron’s cult won’t join group suicide.

I used to think you were a pretty cool guy even though you’re bad shit crazy. But your last little episode shows the kind of person you are. You are more interested in a profit then you are human life.
Elon Musk can go bag groceries without PPE, or he can suck a bag of farts.
Disgusting personality
Funny he did it in an earnings call. Bellend
That is why many American businesses go abroad.
I stand with Elon Musk. California Governor Gavin Newsom is a Communist.
Tesla nice job!
Will this be in Tesla's recruitment video? Good luck retaining and hiring talent.
There goes the stock price
He is right! To many people buying into the fear narrative. If your afraid stay home. The rest of us refuse to live in a police state.
Selling snake oil to the suckers
well of course he'd say that. People staying at home affects Tesla's bottom line
look at all the authoritarians in the country not wanting to give up their unemployment check couch vacations. FREE AMERICA or else tens if thousands will die in the coming depression. Would u rather be sick for a week or watch your kids starve to death? Wake Up

If I were on that earnings call id just have better earnings
Elon is furious that the shutdown is causing his company to take a huge hit when it has been trying to become profitable for years now.
I AM ON LIVE CHAT ASK ANY STOCK NOW
Maine Governor Mills appears bent on crushing the Maine economy. I understand Maine legislators are locked out. The Governor appears to have assumed unary power. There is no oversight, no representation in Maine at this time. Fascism seems an apt term.
well.. well .. well.. he is shit*ing bricks because market will punish tesla stock and he is quickly running out of liquidity. Also, he called corona virus *stupid' issue when it all began!! go figure
Was it worse than Papa Johns?

True fascists would just kill everyone
Ahh man. I thought he was intelligent

Pathetic
Oh my.... $TSLA earnings call....
Good for you elonmusk
With simple ppe, facial mask and gloves, people should be back to work now. This country is destroyed by liberals in many ways. Under Obama the situation got worse.
Finally! Home arrest is Unconstitutional, stopping commerce is a federal crime! Facist
Another greedy Wall Street SOB
He’s right.
I'm kind of surprised by his reaction.
Don’t worry elon, gas prices will rise again
Don’t do drugs folks!
Tesla is trash.
US futures nudging a tad higher, in late US trading, after a major leg up today. Strong results from FB, Tesla and others after hours. Gilead news sinking in. coronavirus
How long do you think before Tesla workers join the UAW? I bet it’s sooner rather than later.
IMHO his company must owe a lot of money and he is desperate to start work before it runs out of cash and is bankrupt. That’s ok for him but how about all the lives that will be lost. I bet he is isolating at home whilst trying to send people to their deaths.
Even intelligent people can be incredibly stupid at times. We all have cognitive biases to keep in check.
Isn't it past time the board replaced elonmusk?
I expected more from someone who loves science.
billngeorge It’s good see Elon gets it! I like him even more!
Elon is brilliant, but it doesn’t take a genius to see that many overzealous actions mainly by those on the left, or in democrat terms,”speaking truth to idiocy”!
BadTakeCurator It would be fascist if someone was shot for being outside, Elon. That hasn't happened.
Don’t agree with Musk often but he’s right about this. We should quarantine the sick and stop the government from violating our rights by requiring us to shelter at home. It’s time to end this bs and get our country open and back to work. 👍
I’m not saying Elon Musk is a villain but he’s the most likely to have a secret lair on skull island.
Oh baby boy you couldn’t make extra bucks this month or you worry about the growing of your company
Thought about buying Tesla last year so thankful I didn’t give my money to them.
Was he high again?
Please no one ever buy a Tesla again. boycottTesla
He is the ultimate capitalist. No empathy.

Says the mega-rich, and elites. You know, the Americans that depend on us poor and old people to make more money, line their pockets and be able to rant and cuss like a child on an “earnings” call.
elonmusk's 1 concern right now is his upcoming huge payday if Tesla holds it's value. He doesn't care about government, people, or society. He wants those dollars to increase his net worth. Like most billionaires, he's a pile of trash. Stick to rockets and cars buddy.
I like Elon more and more and haven’t been a fan
I am so disappointed.
Disappointing to say the least. Sounds like money is more important.
LIFO Liquidation ?
One of the rare times I'll agree with Elon.
People are finally catching on to the nonsense
Knew I didn't like that guy. Just full of himself.
Another scumbag elonmusk who limousine liberals helped gain a platform and immense wealth while us actual wanting to help society folks laughed at the overpriced status bull. It's like Whole Foods (and everything else these types combine on) all over again.
You, fake media cnbc , have to try to make Elon Musk sound soooo bad - 'expletive-laced.' You obviously don't think fascism is worse than cursing.
Does that mean the stock is going down again
Well wouldn’t it be fascist to force people to work during a pandemic? Those afraid to work in states reopening will be denied unemployment... yeah that seems a little more fascist and reckless. Its no surprise he’s tweeting this because he’s losing billions of dollars.
Don’t get excited. This article is here to remind us why Elon is not in public relations and that a hi IQ doesn’t necessarily make you wise. i.e. Mark Zuckerburg.
Don't forget the bleach injections
That's my boy.
He's right.
Oh damn. Has he fallen off his rocker? Say it isn’t so!
He's right. We have to be smarter. We're nearing a point where the system breaks and we won't be able to fix it easily. We need to stockpile medical gear, learn how to best quarantine our most vulnerable and adopt some best practices against spread, like seasonal mask wearing.
He also wanted to nuke Mars because he thought it would make the air breathable to humans.
musk has a big bonus coming up and people not buying cars doesn't help...
A perfect example of narcissistic projection. The boy wants to use the power of the state to increase his wealth and doesn't care who is harmed or killed by it, because the corporation reigns supreme. That's fascism in a nutshell.
This is cabin fever🥵 !
How very Trumpy
Musk is right.
He’s onto something
Probably because a lockdown will expose his fucking ponzi scheme.
What is this guys problem?

Fuk dat guy
I wonder if Musk will be shut out and deleted form the media or he is too rich to be antagonized.
I'd like to know where his contribution of ventilator tech is? Missing the boat on this one.
Musk is an unstable genius.
Maybe Elon could give douducey a call. Just sayin’... OpenArizonaNow
saifedean
That's not going to help sell cars.
LiveSquawk elonmusk Elon rhymes with moron!
I agree with him. Stay at home orders are nonsensical. Excited for reopening.
elonmusk is much smarter than the lame stream media FakeNews complex
Agree
What if companies developed plans for how they could safely operate and officials, maybe OSHA, inspected. If their plans were approved and they did not follow them, they would be closed and fined.
'How dare you deprive me of my constitutional right to put my workers' lives at risk!?'
He’s not even American. What’s his say so? Hardly need advice from an unhinged CEO. And if he’s so concerned, why not use some of those billions to help workers so they don’t have to make a choice between risking their lives or their livelihoods?
Another techbro heard from.
good thing he makes people money
He is clueless. No one is being strong armed to stay home. People are being asked to stay home and many declibe without penslty. People are free to leave their homes as they wish. No military militia are deployed to shoot you if you leave your house.
Who the fuck is being “imprisoned in their homes”?! That certainly has not been the case for myself, and apparently not for anyone else where I live in a very “locked down” state. Whatever elonmusk 🙄
elonmusk Tesla company does not deserve to be named after one of the greatest minds of the modern world. NikolaTesla is turning in his grave. Please also look up what fascism really means
They are.
He should go back to South Africa if staying home to save lives is considered fascism to him.
He wants his bonus
Poor billionaires and their profits.
He ain’t wrong!
saifedean he was hacked
Correct
He seems really eager to have his workers get back to working.. wonders why :/
Ok I guess I’m done with Mr Ego, but I’ll keep my Tesla
He's not wrong.
Shocker. Promise the world everything, leverage the crap out of everything, and when something goes wrong, throw a tantrum. Grow up Elon, please.
Be health conscious. Wealth and profit are not everything. Life is more important.
I’m not surprised by how many liberals want to keep the economy closed and tanking. Why? They want Trump to take the hit in November. Sick. Disgusting.
Awesome elonmusk I wish more people with public voices would actually do the right thing and speak out against lockdown
elonmusk’s joined the Sith. Putting human lives ahead of businesses filing for bankruptcy. Makes me ashamed I ever worshipped him.
So Elon Musk thinks people is free to spread the virus.
Sometimes, all it takes is just one comment to show who you really are!
What’s the different between an engineer and an epidemiologist? The epidemiologist knows he’s not an engineer. DunningKruger
I like Elon, but he completely f*** up on that comment.
The plant which is now occupied by Tesla, was originally a GM plant, and, then became NUMMI (GM and Toyota joint venture). Given all the car companies that have moved from the state, and, country, it is special to have a manufacturer of autos in one's city.
❤ & support
i was hoping to hear a rant
aww his porr wittle stonks
saifedean And he’s right.
Musk is melting down as his company results melt down
The government should have made it mandatory to wear masks in high population areas ... and that should have been all the measures. 👍
About time he said it. Congrats Elon
He’s 100% correct. This is Fascist BS
Says the guy raised in an Apartheid state.
Uncle, please sit.
Who is this Elon musk person you speak of?
Elon, before you make a statement like that, go get suited up and work a 24 shift with paramedics and then a 12 hour shift in a NY hospital right now and then decide
There he goes again.
He's not wrong
Right on
He can move
Elon has trouble with his Emotional IQ on occasion, but he’s one smart MOFO! Tesla Musk
This man needs some meds and a padded room....
Unstable genius
AndrewShamis
musk is smoking the wrong kinda weed............
The problem with being smart at one thing is that you can believe you are smart at everything. Pedo guy.
He's right
What an absolute legend.
Hmmm sounds like elonmusk is losing his shit. cc: Tesla SpaceX 'Musk said he was concerned about not being able to resume operations at the company’s factory in Fremont, California, saying that possibility should be considered a serious risk”
All those who want to go to work, there’s plenty of essential job openings.
I had admired him not anymore... thank you...
He warned that not being able to resume production at Tesla’s Bay Area plant was a “serious risk.” Got his priorities nice and clear.
pot head, nut job Musk
Calling J_Dot_J. Tesla directors sleeping well tonight?
He’s got a real talent for being a tone deaf asswipe.
Ha ha ha ha ha
Bond. Villain.
Paging AshleyElisaG
LiveSquawk ’s “news” could be a who seperate expletive laced tirade all by itself.
You mean the guy that told the world he could not afford rent and laid off his cleaning staff? Lied about earnings and fudged the numbers? That guy? SEC $TSLA Elonmuskisafraud
LiveSquawk Is he wrong
Elon Musk is 100% correct. 1) Open everything. 2) The media and government can continue to give out information and guidance about coronavirus. 3) Make no demands. 4) Let people take personal responsibility.
Moron!
Move plant to Texas long as they open well before CA.
Couldn’t agree more
DTochinskiy FACT: DrTedros, leading the WHO, does not have a medical degree. Sen. Marsha Blackburn.
Stay at home orders is the unfortunate consequence of a society that does not want to wear masks, does not test enough, and whose people do not respect social distancing guidelines
He wants more dead people so he can grab more of the economy for himself.
I agree, stay quarantined if you’re at risk but open it up to business and healthy individuals.
fundstrat did happiness the 420 party wear off already?
And where is Elon Musk? At his private residence or some private island? There is not military force keeping you in your homes. Grow up and take responsibility for your and others health. Maybe he should be helping those who need it instead of bitching!!!
Why can’t I yell fire in a movie theater? What happened to freedom of speech? They are all fascists! idiot
He has been acting in a deranged manner for some time now, I guess the money is clouding his judgement and humanity if there was any to begin with
70,000 deaths...liberty or death. Not dying for you. That is freedom.
Please we need help here in Amarillo, Tx, Tyson meat plant there’s around 250 employees infected with covid 19 and a lot more are afraid of going to work and they are even silencing employees from posting anything on social media, please they need help
Short short short 💰💰💰
Why do I fear that many of these entrepreneurs are coming to Florida next!
Go back to Canada....
Facts
Maybe elonmusk follows BillOReilly, who admitted that he believes most of the COVID19 victims were on their last legs anyway. TrumpVirus
Stupid is as stupid does
Pay your rent Elon
fundstrat “Explative laced tirade” is not how I would describe the call and I actually listened to the call. Elon’s making a very important point here and was trying to emphasize that. Nothing during the entire call when Elon spoke or anyone else could be called a tirade
Correct. Government control is evil. The Constitution is more important than fear or government deciding what is essential
Smart guy, you should listen to him !!
But, but China Gigafactory is running well , right?
Get out of CA.....
Pissoff if you don't like it creep.
Elon is right !!! Is it hurt to hear the truth?
Kind of a D-bag comment from him
fundstrat Trump should work directly with Tim Cook to move all apple manufacturing to US and providing strong financial incentives to move business back to US...”return from china act”
fundstrat Elon is right. Like I have said protests is the only way out of this.
God emperor god bless
Hes right
Thank you elonmusk for being the only intelligent one left in Silicon Valley.
Requiring people to go to work is fascist.
