发帖数: 694 | 2 Mnuchin and a Musk Nemesis Both Support Tesla’s Bid to Reopen
The U.S. Treasury Secretary and one of Elon Musk’s biggest nemeses in the
auto industry spoke out in support of Tesla Inc.’s bid to reopen its lone U
.S. car plant, amping up the pressure on California officials who say it’s
not safe yet.
“He’s one of the biggest employers and manufacturers in California,”
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Monday on CNBC. “California should
prioritize doing whatever they need to do to solve those health issues so
that he can open quickly and safely.”
Mike Jackson, the chairman and chief executive officer of AutoNation Inc.,
the biggest car-dealership chain in the U.S., said Musk’s frustration is “
entirely understandable.” On Saturday, Tesla sued the California county
that’s been blocking Musk’s effort to reopen. The outspoken CEO threatened
to move the company’s operations out of state, calling the local public-
health officer “unelected & ignorant.”
“The auto plants should resume production appropriately and safely, and I
include in that the Tesla plant in California, even though I don’t sell
Teslas,” Jackson, a long-time Musk critic, said in an interview. “We need
to start the journey on production now – now is the moment.”
