next, elon musk. adjustk: i would like to -- yeah, acknowledged the incredible work of the people at spacex and n.a.s.a. and everyone, in creating this in what hasnd commented in this incredible launch of getting astronauts back to orbit after almost a decade. i think this is something that right really get people on the heart of everyone who has had any spirit of exploration. think this is something that is particularly important in the united states that appeals to everyone who has traveled the world to have within them the spirit of exploration. emotionte overcome with this day, so it is kind of hard to talk, frankly. it has been 18 years working toward this goal. it is hard to believe that it has happened. need to bring them back safely and we need to repeat this mission and have this be a regular occurrence. so there is a lot of work to do. but it is just incredible. this is something that everyone -- this is a craft made by humans, for humans. something that i think humanity should be excited ab

musk here, not state officials, but what is your sense of allowing mr. musk to reopen?> california is the world's fifth largest economy. i don't think they're impressed. as you discussed, there are not a lot of 10 million square foot facilities out there just for the viewers to get a handle around this, costco is 100,000 square feet. this is the equivalent of100 costcos side by side by side that would be awfully tough to move but there's a broader question here and that is california led the nation, one of the first places do that lockdown, in the bay area where i live and where the tesla headquarters is came a few days before the state, and as plus we bent the curve so it raises the question, would we have handled this like new york did or any other state? no we handled it right. and california now is in the process of opening up. we think that's the right strategy out here. it looks like most people will be going back to work in the beginning of june. that's 2 1/2 weeks away. i think what is this all about it's about can mr. musk get another few days of manufacturing

musk: totally. admin. bridenstine: that is good. >> our next question is from ivan crone. >> thank you very much. question elon musk, could you expand on starship and about when you expect will go around the room? mr. musk: [laughter] i tend to be a little optimistic about schedules. [laughter] i'm optimistic in general, so that is credited, too. i don't know. guess, i would wish we could do it in two years. i don't know. that might mean four. [laughter] i don't know. i think it isn't out of the question if it is two years. i would be surprised if it is more than four. >> ok. our next question is from dave mosher of business insider. >> thank you for taking my question and congratulations on an amazing launch. this is for elon. you have been working toward the launch for 18 years and have encountered resistance along the way. i think even at nasa at one point. what would you say to those who doubted spacex could do this? do you have a message for them? in your last conversation with bob and doug, can you t

elon musk, unfiltered elon musk appears on twitter all the time. the new personalities, incredible, brilliant inventor genius, helping us get americans back in space from american soil. he really created the electric car industry. then we have the person who tweets with abandon about all sorts of things and it is hard for me to say but i think the material things that he has done for society, for space, for the, for electric cars, those things will be remembered and remembered as someone very important in history. connell: i think it is a good bet that the whole fully funded taking tesla private thing will be forgotten then. we'll be talking about things we're talking about today. good to see you, lance. as always, lance ulanoff. melissa. melissa: shooting for the stars. spacex certainly not the only private company betting on commercial space missions in the near future. jackie deangelis is live in the newsroom with more details on that. jackie. reporter: good afternoon to you, melissa. it would have been historic. we'll wait until saturday to see

it was a fierce barrage of tweets by tesla ceo elon musk. he says he's suing alameda county over the shelter in place order that doesn't allow tesla to resume manufacturing operations and he may not stop there. >> reporter cornell barnard is live in fremont with the story. cornell? >> reporter: yes, eric and dion, things are moving very fast this afternoon. abc 7 news learned that elon musk indeed filed an injunction against alameda county to allow this plant to reopen. musk is also threatening to relocate the entire operation to another state. >> the last thing i want to see them do is leave. >> alameda county supervisor scott haggerty doing damage control following a firestorm of tweets from elon musk. clearly, unhappy about not being able to resume manufacturing operations at his plant in fremont. tesla is filing a lawsuit against alameda county immediately. the unelected and ignorant interim health officer of alameda county is acting contrary to the governor, the president, our constitutional freedoms and just plain common sense. he's re

so elon musk has been, if anything, nasa is trying to hold on to the reins of elon musk. he is quite a visionary. the course, an entrepreneur and an innovator, and the ingenuity. he has helped us all the kind of open up our minds what's possible. >> bill: you have helped us a lot over the last 20 minutes. don't go far. we are going to come back to you. we will lean on you and your observations. doug wheelock, astronaut there in cleveland, ohio. president trump on the first lady are in florida now, currently en route to the neil armstrong operations center ahead of the historic lodge at cape canaveral florida. we are at about t-1 hour and 13 minutes from now. as the u.s. gets ready for a new era of space expiration, ari fleischer will reflect on what it means for america next. can save you $2000 a year. y newday lets you refi at today's near rock bottom rates by shortcutting the loan process. there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. it's the quickest and easiest refi newday's ever offered. one call can lower your mortgage payment by this ti

musk did was file injunctive relief. he's looking for a permanent injunction and a declaratory injunction against alameda county. mr. musk is saying we fall under the essential business definition of the federal government. he also under the state definition of a essential business. but, the county of alameda is telling him, no you don't. and he therefore, is going to the federal court, lawyered up, saying i want this stopped i want to be able to do my business. and i want the court to declare what the county is doing is illegal. >> at the end of the day, from a legal standpoint, doesn't the county have the final say here? the state and governor are issuing guidelines for reopening but do the local authorities have the final say? >> no they don't. the state has the final say and that's exactly what mr. musk is saying. of the county can go a little be beyond the circumstances. but mr. musk is a we are an essential business so you can't shut us down. that's what the litigation will be about. a federal judge will decide qui

what elon musk tweeted that sent shares skidding. and big coin is about to break out. how he is positioning himself for the crypto comeback. we start with today's market selloff, wall street wiping out its gains for the week as tariff tanks stock. say that 20 times fast having its worst day in months, this is the chart that had us all scratching our collective heads, bonds barely budged so bk, we go to you, what is behind, do you think, this market conundrum. >> it's a little strange, you would think with the fed buying, they reduced their buying, the market, the dow down 600, not much inflation out there, you would think that bonds would be absolutely flying and they're not. what do we know? we know that treasury bonds are owned by a lot of sovereign states you look at something like saudi arabia, japan, china, perhaps they need capital, a lot, you know, has to do with the oil decline. perhaps it's investors getting a built spooked that the u.s. has to raise an awful lot of debt and the only buyer out there is going to be the federal reserve, but it's really strange.

and time now for a quick break but hang here because when we return elon musk is launching the lockdown rules in california as the calls for economic reopening continue in the country we'll break it all down with a boom bust panel in just a bit as we go to break here the numbers at the close. are. like one of the hosts ask a question yes and then actually listens to the yes answer and then react to that that's it folks dennis miller here i've got a new show. i'm a journalist it's all i know being a truth teller people say i make among come from good news is like a jackhammer good drill down until you find the truth news with rick sanchez because it's time to do news again and question more. listens doubling online algorithms dictate what you get to want to go to portable dot tv slash download to get killer television it's completely free come talk in award winning comedy awesome sports coverage inside so fresh still tastes like raspberries on a spring day take so hot they'll burn your face off thousands of videos more added by the hour did i mention 3 it's a yes 3 go go get it portable

musk and the county sparred over whether they could stay open until mid-march. alameda county forbids tesla from resuming work. the suit says that violates the due process and equal protection clauses of the institution, and says quote the county's orders should be declared void and without legal effect. county officials say they are trying to find middle ground. >> he just needed to give us another week to get this done right to make sure that his employees came back safely. >> musk does have local supporters. fremont's mayor issued this statement today saying quote the city encourages the county to engage with local businesses to come up with acceptable guidelines for reopening our local economy. the tesla ceo also has detractor, congresswoman lorena gonzalez says a word we cannot say on tv about her feelings about elon musk. late today musk tweeted i'm not messing around and saying his constitutional civil lirkbertie are being violated. our coverage continues. >> the last thing i want to see is them leave. >> alameda county supervisor scott haggerty doing dam

some more friday tweet action from elon musk.old you earlier, he tweeted he believes tesla shares were overvalued. he has been getting a lot of flak for that, especially from tesla investors. a user on twitter saying could you please state your account is hacked, you are killing every investor that invested in tesla. musk responded saying "as always, i am optimistic about tesla in the long-term." we will be watching this through the weekend and bring you any developments on monday. have a wonderful weekend, everybody. stay tuned. this is bloomberg. ♪ david: science gave us some hope. the economic numbers, they gave us none. this is bloomberg wall street week. i'm david westin. welcome back. ♪ david: another week, another week of being at home, at least for most of us. another week of really deteriorating economic numbers in the u.s. and over in europe. but maybe this week will be really important about the numbers of the economy. the number of cases, the number of

elon musk answered a tweet and said it went great. been speaking to workers who have turned up to the factory and on temperature checks using infrared temperature thermometers. they have been given ppe like masks. there is plexiglass to divide up and give space between break areas per there are plastic hanging sheets on the production lines to keep workers safe. production is ongoing. we don't know what level they are at what by all accounts fremont is back up and running. they took that decision over the weekend as you know. basically they gave workers little choice. we saw an email from hr at tesla and said the furlough has been lifted and workers were requested to come in. they could stay at home but they would risk going without pay and benefits per that is where we are. what are the legal issues? tesla has sued the county officials and we know the county has said they are working with tesla very we know that there are plenty of other businesses that would love to reopen if they could. why should tesla get a free pass? or itsla's

time now for a quick break here because when we return elon musk is flawed thing the lockdown rules in california as the calls for economic reopening continue in the country we'll break it all down with a boom bust people in just a bit as we go to break here the numbers of the quotes. are coming and a lot of people say well you can't go negative on the world reserve currency they also said you can never prints a negative oil futures contract they said you could never print and negative interest rate on a sovereign bond that's already happened and i think about warren buffett and i pity them at this point because he says he doesn't like stocks and he's hiding out in cash but his cash is about to go negative returns but negative interest rate on his cash is going to be losing money on his cash pretty soon and he said would never own gold and i would never own big point so the only $2.00 life boats for warren buffett at this point are bold and decline and he's out of pride he's going to stick on his negative interest rate cash and he won't buy stocks so he's already underperformed the s.

>> back and forth between musk and government officials have gone very public. it's gotten nasty at times. the confers between and among the folks have been ongoing for quite sometime. they were close to reaching an agreement to allow reopening next monday. late today musk confirmed he moved it up a week. >> shown from sky 7 the parking lot at tesla manufacturing plant was teeming with cars. a sign a good number of the employees were back at work. on twitter ceo confirmed it. tesla is restarting production today against alameda county rules. i will be on the line with everyone else. if anyone is arrested i ask it only be me. >> it's a bit disappointing it appears they are going forward. i can tell you that the communication between the health department and the public health officer who makes the decisions are ongoing still. >> tesla restarting production is a violation of the alameda county health department order. requiring factories to remain shut down. except for essential departments like payroll. over the weekend tesla released photographs of coronavirus s

guidelines so that's kind of where the battle has been so far and so far musk says he's going to be on the operating line working with workers and if someone gets arrested he says it should be him. i'm sorry go ahead christie i know you're all jacked up to talk about this yet because i'm like absolutely fine if he actually is the leader or the face of the tech resistance if that's what he wants to position herself to be but if he really was doing that then where was he during this entire big resistance where was he trained net neutrality he never took any position on any of those things but now when it's something that's affecting his business his line of work oh now he's all up in arms about it until it actually makes him a big hypocrite in my book because right now he's basically saying hey california thank you so much for the tax subsidies thank you so much for those tax breaks and everything i'm going to take my headquarters and move over to nevada or texas is basically what he posted in a sense to lead a tweet so that he is only upset because this is a this is affecting his busine

. >>> a bold legal move from tesla ceo elon musk. he's threatening to move his company out of fremont and even out of california, and asking the court to force alameda county to let him reopen his manufacturing plant. >> reporter: musk and california health county officials feuded for weeks whether the fremont plant that manufacturers elon musk's tesla cars is an essential busy. the court said it's not. according to the criteria laid down by governor newsom, they said it is and the state takes precedence. the suit claims alameda county thus thoersed the power of businesses the state government ordered could stay open. musk and the county sparred over whether the company could stay open in mid-march. but with loosening restrictions that kept businesses from operating, alameda county forbids tesla from resuming work. that violates the equal selection process of the constitution and, quote, it should be declared void and without legal effect. california officials say they're trying to find middle ground. >> he just needed to give us ano

we have seen from musk in readings in recent days. send workers back on monday and ramped up production, strong political allies like president trump, he made serious threats to move some of these jobs to nevada, or texas. i think what we are seeing today is a real victory for tesla, in the county saying that they will be able to resume operations early next week. and we haven't seen any action yet. from the police, to prevent them from doing -- >> elon musk packing up a whole operation and moving out of the state. >> i think they took it pretty seriously when he was saying that you can come and arrest me, i will be on the line, we heard the county officials saying that cooler heads needed to prevail. we saw that there were politicians from some of those states that musk was talking about moving to. saying that they would welcome those jobs, and reaching out to musk. so certainly creating a lot of pressure seeing that other states from texas were welcoming musk there. i think that puts a lot of pressure on the local officials to compl

now musk has announced that tesla will defy local orders and it is starting its california for fremont california factory the announcement came monday on twitter and its supercharged a standoff over government orders that the company's california plant remain closed as part of efforts to slow the spread of coppa 19 now joining us now to discuss this and other stories is boom bust co-hosts christy i and ben swan a bet i want to start with you musk says he is going to do this and really they kind of have despite orders for tesla to stay home what is the value in this move for test lot and a lot of musk. well i'm not sure what the value is necessarily tesla other than getting its operations back up and running which i guess would be valuable for any business owner what's interesting about this story is that obviously the last few weeks really has been kind of as you said there the head of this kind of tech resistance so you have companies like facebook and google that are rival kind of lockstep with government orders and musk is taking the opposite position saying that this is the united

musk has not revealed where he is today, liz. he did obviously say yesterday when he defied the orders by alameda county officials and ordered the reopening of the tesla factory in fremont, that he would be back on the assembly line with his workers. musk, in fact, tweeting quote, i will be on the line with everyone else. if anyone is arrested, i ask that it only be me. but frankly, any sort of arrests seem unlikely, as tesla employees streamed into work this morning. the county sheriff said any arrests were up to the fremont police. the fremont police said any arrests would be up to advice from the county health officials. they set a deadline of 5:00 p.m. yesterday for tesla to submit a safety plan and a county official told us just a short time ago quote, the site-specific plan was submitted yesterday and we are in the process of reviewing it. we got an update to that graphic you have on the screen there confirming that they have indeed got that plan and are reviewing it. now, there's been a lot of reaction on twitter, as you m

how long has elon musk spent on this programme?y, and he put pretty much everything into this company. he almost went broke with both this company and tesla in the mid—2000. last night, elon musk, exulted, as you would expect, was reminiscing about how back in 2008 he put almost every penny of his millions and billions he had set aside to make this work. he was on the edge of shutting down when they got the contract to fly cargo to the space station with an un—crewed version of the vehicle. so he has been all in and that has give spacex the flexibility to make mistakes and lose rockets. they have had two failures and bounced back both times. the failure of the first rocket, it was almost causing them to close up shop if the fourth didn't work. that kind of flexibility, the deep pockets he has on his own gave him the flexibility to keep trying new things when perhaps an nasa programme, they might have said, we have spent enough money on this, we will move on to what we know works from the past. it has given him a lot of flexibility

that elonll think musk is doing a good job here? definitely a lightning rod situation and polarizing. to some, the standoff in fremont as i will call it, puts elon musk, in terms of loyalists, in a better light. he stood his ground and opened the factory. on the other hand, in terms of health and safety and other issues, there is a brighter spot in the broader situation. here it comes down to, can musk and tesla navigate the storm, stay profitable, and can they start to see model three demand ramp backup? from an investor perspective that will be the question. perspective,ship musk has talked the talk and walk to walk. this is one chapter. we have to seal other chapters play out in terms of how the book is written. -- we have to see. but in terms of stance, he has put a strong line in the sand. ultimately there is risk in that as well as potential opportunity from restarting the factory. dan ives, good to have you calling in and stopping by on this friday. coming up, more on leadership and a time of crisis. we will talk to another c
