Elon Musk is unhappy with the United States' shutdown of most non-essential businesses.
The billionaire on Wednesday said Tesla's shuttered car factories remain a "serious risk" to its business. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesIn a short rant complete with expletives, Elon Musk doubled down on his stance against the shelter-in-place orders that have gripped the United States economy in recent weeks in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
"It will cause great harm, not just to Tesla, but to many companies," Musk said on the call. "And while Tesla will weather the storm, there are many companies that will not. Everything people have worked for their whole life is being destroyed in real time." Musk even went so far as to call the government imposed shutdown of all-but-essential businesses undemocratic.
"If somebody wants to stay in their house, that's great and they should be able to," he said. "But to say they cannot leave their house and that they will be arrested if they do: that's fascist. That is not democratic; this is not freedom. Give people back their godd--n freedom.
Please stick to making cars and funding the Space Academy🗣🗣🗣
Wish he was as vocal on he and his family’s scenario during apartheid and greater, massive funding for women of color in tech here and there, though!
Somebody get him his dose of weed. He is losing his shit !
Shuttered. (I usually charge for that, but this is a freebie.)
He’s not wrong!!!
Agreed.
Another with more money than regard for human life.

Elon should lay off the drugs...
What should people do then? How do we curb infection or community spread? It is now so apparent that we do not have the capabilities of installing safety measures like a S Korea... or do we have the PPE supply of a China... so what should we do Elon? Live to fight another day
Wow, I used to admire him a lot, but now I think he’s off
elonmusk have you been tested? Shelter-in-place is to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. Spend an hour at a hospital to see the suffering and you may understand how contagious it is. I hope you don’t catch it as no one deserves that pain.
So how will Elon Musk deal with this, if his parents or family were to catch corona virus or die from it?
He means he's losing money and needs his slaves back to work on his corporate plantation so he can be really comfy cozy
There's shuddered and then there's shuttered (BI eds)
G0 do a bong & chill out Elon. FOLLOW THE SCIENTISTS
Preach Elon.
From a man polluting earth with low orbit satellites. StopStarLink
Musk is Zuckerberg’s nemesis culminating into Jeff Bezos...
By all means move more manufacturing to China. GL!
Arrogant fool
The fuck
There goes his stock.
I though his maniacally reckless Twitter posts were him letting his inner Einstein out! But he is def a “Coo coo!” Guys a genius, and still a fan but he is coo coo! elonmusk
I hate when people throw out political and/or economic ideology without considering the full context of what they are saying.
I'm sure he's really concerned about peoples' freedoms and not just being allowed to open his factory back up.
elonmusk is just some rich dude who doesn't care for workers what does he know about fascism
He would. Luxury at the expense of human life right? Be real free when we’re all dead from COVID19 the moron. As long as people make💰, he doesn’t care if they die. He can AFFORD to hide while we die. FuckElonMusk covidvillains Covid_19 COVIDIOTS coronavirus ClassMassacre
He not lying. It is what fascists do. In the name of helping the people they make these orders, their real aim is to control people and take their wealth. Bankrupting businesses and forcing working people into poverty is taking their wealth. TestTraceIsolate and lets move on.
What does his house look like? I assume he has several and a private plane.
He’s insane
Stick to rockets
Ei )man wei😂
Elon’s hair plugs might be a little too tight.
Elon for president!
Hey elonmusk, you know what's fascist? Sacrificing lives on the altar of the Almight dollar.
elonmusk is being disingenuous, people have the right to move nationwide if they observe temporary spacing restrictions. he just can't help himself
Bastard
Time for America to wake up!
So 2020’s version of “let them eat cake”...
