  • With its factory once again running in California, Tesla dropped a lawsuit filed earlier this month against local county officials which argued it should be allowed to reopen to manufacturing.
  • Tesla notified the federal court in documents filed Wednesday that it was dropping the lawsuit against Alameda County "without prejudice."
  • Amid the spat, Musk lambasted local leaders and accused them of going against statewide guidelines for reopening businesses shuttered amid the pandemic.
  • Musk has been a vocal critic of government-issued guidance during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. He's called stay-at-home orders unconstitutional and fascist, and he's risked imprisonment during the lockdown in order to reopen production.
