I'm not so sure some local-yocal county official should have the power to close a $90 Billion marketcap multi-nat's primary manufacturing facility. This is like giving some elected dog-catcher the launch codes for a Minuteman rocket. Knowing Elon, he'll develop a cure and set up a Corona inoculation tent. At a minimum, he'll call Trump.
That's like saying "I'm not sure how a federal judge can stop a presidential edict". Isn't democracy grand? FWIW, I doubt the Alameda health officials care about Elon's feelings right now. Nice dig by Elon on his employees too. "you can stay home if you're afraid". Real classy. and the hits kept coming: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...gement-over-network-gear-source-idUSKBN2151X4 Japan's Sharp sues Tesla for patent infringement over network gear: source TOKYO (Reuters) - Sharp Corp (6753.T) has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Japanese unit of Tesla Inc (TSLA.O), seeking an injunction to halt imports of some electric vehicles (EV) to Japan, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday. Sharp, a unit of Taiwan’s Foxconn (2317.TW), has been actively filing patent infringement cases in recent months, accusing U.S. TV brand Vizio Inc and Chinese smartphone maker OPPO.
Why not? It is a simple case of using the definition of "non-essential." If other factories close down, so should Tesla.
I think selling cash covered puts are not a bad idea here. The puts are juicy, and if the seller eventually gets the stock he can start to do the wheel. Stock is pushed down by 60%, getting it for cheap is not a bad idea. When things normalize, it will bounce back or at least stop falling.
