On Saturday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk threatened to move both the company headquarters and production facilities to Texas or Nevada if they were not allowed to reopen as soon as possible, as California Globe reported.
Then Musk took to Twitter and announced he would Sue Alameda County: “The unelected & ignorant ‘Interim Health Officer’ of Alameda is acting contrary to the Governor, the President, our Constitutional freedoms & just plain common sense!” Musk Tweeted.
The billionaire CEO, who employs 10,000 at his Alameda plant, said Tesla would relocate its headquarters and future programs out-of-state.
Not long after this news was covered by most California news outlets, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) showed her true colors again when she Tweeted “F*ck Elon Musk.”
Gonzalez, a former labor leader, authored Assembly Bill 5 which has nearly destroyed Californians’ ability to work as independent contractors and freelancers.
Immediately, Twitter blew up with appropriate responses:
OAN’s Liz Wheeler replied:
“Good job presenting the science behind the CA lockdown (in response to a constituent who employs tens of thousands of people)… oh wait no. You have no science to justify your lockdown. So you resort to profanity to try to silence dissent. Please keep speaking truth @elonmusk.“
Brandon Sario replied to Lorena:
San Diego radio host Mike Slater replied:
Sonjia Culper replied:
Hopefully @elonmusk will consider funding a recall of @LorenaSGonzalez
A particularly astute reply from someone who’s Twitter handle is just “R:”
Average Tesla Motors Salary $94k..one of the largest manufacturing employers in California..more than 10,000 employees at Fremont factory..A responsible CA Leg would be working with Tesla to stay in California. Those workers pay good amount in taxes.
Texas Governor Gregg Abbott re-Tweeted Musk’s Tweet:
Let’s hope Elon Musk wins his lawsuit – California needs the industry and jobs.
Meanwhile, Stay Classy Lorena.

Musk leaving is in the Democrats’ favor. Democrats really don’t want any private sector employers if they cannot wield influence on employers.

"Everyday $%*@#& Manners" by CA Assemblywoman Lorena "AB5 The Job Killer" Gonzalez
(Available for curbside pickup at a bookstore near you)
I love your humor. I always look forward to your comments. I think this is one of your best! Lorena G's manners are the worst. She is a joke to her party. It's sickening. Way to boost morale.
Appalling. I can’t believe this is happening in America.
Thanks K :)
What's scary is that these people don't even PRETEND to have standards anymore.
In reality, she's a typical example of her party.
Lorena has used the ' F' word before. Apparently she feels she is above reproach.!????
Lorena G is representative of the Democrats. It’s all about control. It’s not about the betterment of legal California citizens.
I agree with K, another great post @Showandtell, too good!
Lorena Gonzales is keeping it classy in San Diego!
I live in Fremont Ca, and it will be devastating to this city. The smaller businesses that support Tesla need to be remembered as well. It is hard enough doing business in California. The irony of it all; a green car manufacturer can’t even do business in Green California.
I hope Elon Musk is successful in his Federal lawsuit. This should get Barr’s attention.
Let Freedom Ring.
Let’s just hope when he moves to NV or TX that he leaves his lefty CA employees in Alameda.
Thanks Cali Girl :)
Great point about the irony of a green car maker unable to do business here. (!!!)
Lorena wants to be like that idiot in NYC, AOC; proud that she killed 40k Amazon jobs in her city. Way to go.
Forget it, Jake, it's California-Town.
Amazing. This job-killing union boss can't understand why companies would leave highly taxed and over-regulated California.
She hates him because of his union busting tactics... that, and she's a Marxist.
Isn’t there a Social Media clause for Gov employees? If the planning guy in Antioch got fired for one of his post then shouldn’t this no skill whatsoever Assemblywoman immediately resign or be terminated!
Odd....aren’t you terrified at what has happened to your physical and economic existence the last six months?
There are players out there that ain’t playing-
Gonzalez has her priorities - 3 of them - All big unions that she carries water for - people that work and pay taxes in California don't have any "pull" with her.
