Elon Musk defies lockdown order to reopen Tesla factory, says 'arrest only me'

Elon Musk on Monday said that Tesla has resumed operations at its California factory, in defiance of COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the Alameda County. Musk tweeted, "If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me." He added, "California approved, but an unelected county official illegally overrode. Also, all other auto companies in the US are approved to resume."
