The US President Donald Trump took to Twitter overnight to support Tesla’s plans to reopen its electric car factory – weeks earlier than local authorities allowed and in defiance of county shutdown orders. The 45th US President wrote on social media: “California should let Tesla & @elonmusk open the plant, NOW. It can be done Fast & Safely!” The controversial boss of Tesla, Elon Musk, replied on Twitter: “Thank you!”
