Suddenly people are not bowing to the demands of “big tech” gang

Elon Musk might have found that the world is moving against him after he sued a California county for preventing him from opening his factory.

Musk, like most big tech billionaires, believes that not only must local government obey him - because he has money - but also subsidise him so his companies remain profitable.

But the coronavirius has shown that play in all its glory and it is local government is starting to grow a pair and take him on.

California's governor had said last Thursday that some manufacturers in the state would be allowed to reopen but only those which made essential products. Musk believed that meant him, because it was essential he continue to make money. Fremont County disagreed.

When he was told that was not the case he did what every big tech company does – it opens an expensive court case against a cash strapped local authority until it obeys. For good measure he threatened to move his factory away from California to really show them who was boss.
