Elon Musk Reopens Tesla Plant in Defiance of California County

Greetings, QuickTake readers! In this edition: NYC death toll may be worse than tally, Putin ends lockdown despite record case surge, and our future climate warming is already here.

Elon Musk said Monday that Tesla's factory in Fremont, California, had restarted production in open defiance of the stay-at-home order in Alameda County. "I will be on the line with everyone else," he tweeted. "If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me." The company told workers their furlough ended Sunday, which conflicted with California Gov. Gavin Newsom's comments that he expected Tesla's plant to reopen next week.
