Update 5/10/2020 8AM EST: As he stated he was going to do yesterday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk filed an 18-page lawsuit that asked a federal judge to allow him to re-open his factory in Fremont.
"Alameda County's power grab not only defies the governor's orders, but offends the federal and California constitutions," the lawsuit said. The suit argues that Alameda County "had violated the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment and sought an injunction that would allow the company to operate."
Later in the day on Saturday, Tesla, likely covering for Musk's fiasco and trying to do damage control, put out a blog post called "Getting Back to Work".
The response to Musk's actions this weekend from many on social media, including Democrats and left-leaning California politicians, was robust. CA Assemblywoman Lorena S. Gonzalez simply Tweeted "F*ck Elon Musk."
F*ck Elon Musk.

And she doesn't appear to be the only one that's "over" Musk and his antics. Comedian Michael Rapaport referred to Musk as "Ant Dick Man", saying "Guy thinks he's Tony Stark but he ain't".
Said he saw the entire COVID problem play out in China and now is watching the sequel in the US. Yet did NOTHING to sound the alarm. Now he complains all about it affecting HIM. Guy thinks he's Tony Stark but he ain't. Youre no Iron Man. No Free Captain America. Ant Dick Man https://t.co/QUgk79bw48

"Fuck that bozo," replied celebrity jeweler Ben Baller.
