Cleanup on aisle Elon Musk!
The Tesla CEO seems to be very anxious about something. I wonder what it is? He went way off-script during a Tesla earnings call today. Way, way, way off script. Meltdown time. Sounds like they cut his audio off to shut him up.
Elon Musk called shelter-in-place orders to slow the spread of coronavirus “fascist.”
"To say that they cannot leave their house and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist. This is not democratic, this is not freedom. Give people back their goddamn freedom."
Here's a rough transcription:
Elon's wacky rant

From Ryan Mac:
Wow Elon just went off. Asked about the stay at home order he says "what the fuck"
— Ryan Mac 🙃 (@RMac18) April 29, 2020
The quote was very long. He likened the counties' stay at home orders to forcible imprisonment and not the reason why people came to this country. This is definitely off script.

Musk: "To say they cannot leave their house and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist…. Give people back their god damn freedom."
(To be clear, this is not what Bay Area counties' stay at home orders say)

There are some very long silent pauses after Musk says these things. To be a fly in the room with the other execs on the call…

Wow,,, and the audio for the call was just cut??
— Ryan Mac 🙃 (@RMac18) April 29, 2020
They're back.
Tesla finance guy: "Sorry we got disconnected for some reason. What was the question?"
