Crazy Musk resumed work in violation of orders, shouting “arrest me” and threatening the government to relocate the company

Because he is bold, daring to think, dare to do, and innovative, after Steve Jobs, Elon Musk has become a super idol in the global technology industry. In recent years, the Tesla brand he created has subverted traditional cars and led the new trend of smart cars. Tesla is crazy enough, and its founder Musk is even crazier.

On May 12, The Verge reported that Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California, began manufacturing cars again last weekend, although it has not yet reached an agreement with Alameda County. Musk subsequently tweeted to confirm the news: "Tesla restarted production today in violation of Alameda County regulations. I will stand with all employees at risk. If anyone is arrested, I ask that only me be arrested One person. "This means forcing a return to work and challenging the local government.

"Catch me if you want to", what kind of madness can make Musk say such a thing? Throughout Musk's journey, the editor of "Automotive Professional Network" discovered that Musk's madness goes far beyond that.

Forcibly resuming work to challenge the local government

Judging from the fact that Musk violated California’s ban and forcibly resumed work and tweeted that “if anyone is arrested, I ask that only me be arrested”, Ma Scott's attitude towards the California government can be described as "tough". And this is not the first time this kind of toughness has occurred.

On May 8, the California government announced that it would allow manufacturers in the state to resume operations one after another. Musk immediately stated that the Fremont factory would restart from the afternoon of the 9th. However, Alameda County continues to refuse to allow the Fremont factory to resume operations due to epidemic prevention. Immediately afterwards, Tesla quickly announced a lawsuit against Alameda County, asking the federal court to revoke the local authority's order preventing the automaker from resuming production. It also hoped that the court would rule that the county's order violated relevant provisions of the Constitution. Musk even threatened to move Tesla's headquarters out of California to Texas or Nevada, and received support from Hidalgo County, Texas.

It must be said that Musk’s attitude towards the government is really tough, and this is naturally related to the large amount of tax revenue that Tesla can provide.

“Leave no tangible property” is a hot search topic

A few days ago, Musk was a hot search topic on Weibo for selling a US$40 million mansion. Although the ranking was not high, it was enough. It shows that the traffic brought by Musk's private move is extraordinary. Musk recently announced that he would sell all tangible assets, including his house. When explaining why he wanted to do so in an interview on Thursday, he said that people are increasingly and wrongly dismissive of the existence of billionaires. . In addition, he also said in a tweet on May 1 that he believed Tesla's stock price was too high. Subsequently, Tesla's stock price fell 8%.

Just because "people are increasingly and erroneously dismissive of the existence of billionaires" and "no tangible property is left behind", the editor of "Automotive Professional Network" can only say: Rich people The world view is a bit unclear.

Musk’s amazing words in those years have still come true

Musk has never lacked traffic. One of the reasons is that his remarks are often shocking. In March 2017, Musk made harsh words and vowed to build a super-large battery capable of supporting a state within 100 days to solve Australia's power supply crisis, otherwise he would not pay for it. Because South Australia has frequent power outages, which last for two weeks at a time, Musk took the initiative to take over the problem and said that if the problem could not be solved, the US$25 million in equipment costs would be waived. What is unexpected is that this matter actually "succeeded"!

In November of the same year, Tesla’s Australian energy storage battery pack project on the other side of the ocean was declared successful, and the battery pack has been fully installed. The battery energy storage system was put into use in December and can provide power to 30,000 households.

In June 2002, Elon Musk invested US$100 million to found the American Space Exploration Technology Company (SPACE “The road to outer space. Private aerospace is almost difficult to implement in our country and even around the world. However, in 2018, SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket successfully launched for the first time. It successfully sent Elon Musk’s red Tesla sports car into space and successfully recovered it. two booster rockets.

In addition, Musk’s “Mars Immigration Plan” is the most shocking. Years ago, Musk revealed to the media his plan to immigrate to Mars and establish a community on Mars. It was later exposed as a scam, which may lead to no return, and also involves some ethical issues. However, Musk has not been idle in recent years, and has even achieved some results recently. According to a report by Tencent News on May 10, on May 5, 2020, the prototype of Space Technology Exploration's SN4 Starship conducted a brief static ignition test in southern Texas, igniting its single "Raptor" engine.

This shows that Musk’s Mars immigration plan is underway. Reminiscent of the realization of Musk's ideas twice before, the editor of "Automotive Professional Network" even hopes that Musk's "Mars immigration" will be implemented quickly.

Taken together, Elon Musk is indeed a crazy enough person. It’s no wonder that he dares to resume work despite California’s ban, and even boasts, “Catch me if you want.”
