The founder of Tesla thinks that “politicians and unelected bureaucrats” who have abused their power during the coronavirus pandemic deserve to be punished for their decisions to shut down state economies across the country.
Responding to a video from Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy which heavily criticized the continued stay-at-home orders, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Portnoy should consider running for office before calling for draconian measures to overturn members of the government.
“Well said!” Musk tweeted. “Please run for office. The politicians & unelected bureaucrats who stole our liberty should be tarred, feathered & thrown out of town!

Musk has been a vocal skeptic of the response from state governments, including his own in California, where he has battled state lawmakers to keep his Tesla manufacturing plant in Fremont open. Earlier this week, he said he was going to keep his factory open and dared law officials to arrest him.
On Wednesday, Musk said he was considering moving to Texas after Los Angeles County officials announced they would extend stay-at-home orders through the end of July.
