FREMONT — Elon Musk’s kept his Tesla factory here running Tuesday, after suing over Alameda County’s shelter in place order, and daring law enforcement to arrest him for violating the health department mandate.

Workers showed up at the Fremont factory early Tuesday and worked throughout the day without interruption, in violation of the orders mandated by six Bay Area counties and the city of Berkeley to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump tweeted his support for Musk’s decision, drawing more attention to the confrontation.
