Business Insider spoke with 10 Tesla employees all over the country, all of whom said they feared for their health and livelihood and some felt leadership at Tesla was lacking. The workers asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, but their identities are known to Business Insider.

Some employees said they worried that they could lose their jobs for taking time off, or said they felt Tesla lacked basic precautionary measures, like readily available hand sanitizer.

I can't wait to hear about inevitable outbreaks in the plant given their atrocious record for safety even before all this started.

Tesla is the worst.

A review by Forbes found 24 investigations by California Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspectors from 2014 to 2018, resulting in fines for 54 violations. These include new penalties that haven't yet hit the national online OSHA database, and they nearly double Tesla's fines over the last five years, to $236,730

yup, bravo elon..

Yeah, Elon is quite the visionary! This is one of his tweets about COVID-19 back in March.

Yup, another 'gotta expect losses' kinda guy..sacrifice lives for the almighty $....

All of his enterprises existed before he took over and, at least in in Tesla's case, pushed out the actual visionaries. It's looking increasingly clear that the only thing he added was money.

I bet there are thousands of people in the Bay Area currently facing poverty because of unreasonable lockdowns ordered by local health administrators (how does one individual have such power in this country) that would gladly take a job at Tesla.

I guess the reason that he's trying to sell all his houses at once is because he needs the cash.

It started two weeks ago with a simple tweet from billionaire Elon Musk saying that he intended to ‘own no homes’ as part of his life overhaul in which he will also own very few possessions. Shortly thereafter he listed two of his California houses For Sale By Owner and in the past few days he has listed another five California properties, also as For Sale By Owner, but there’s a catch. The four that are all in the same Los Angeles neighborhood are being sold as a bundle in one massive sale for a combined $62.5 million. The fifth is a home in Silicon Valley asking $35 million...

He probably wants to get out of California, like other rich people are. I can't blame him.

Speaking of people that are ruining Northern Nevada ....

Omitting the snark about him personally...His business, which is his business. He built and manages his resources, if he doesn't like how Cali interacts with him its his prerogative to move it. At least he's looking at other places in the States instead of moving it overseas which so many businesses have done in recent decades.

As far as his cars, I don't know, I haven't driven one yet so I can't comment.

We were talking yesterday about really sticking it to them by moving to ... California!

[mtechnica]

I can see why he would want to move out of CA though, for better or for worse a lot of things are just way more difficult here.

I lived in No. Nevada once upon a time. Interesting place, but after a few years, I was ready to get outta there. Certainly the road riding was not so good unless you like out and back.....
