However, I never expected what I saw this past weekend:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">F*ck Elon Musk.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Lorena Gonzalez (@LorenaSGonzalez) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LorenaSGonzalez\/status\/1259287879177531392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 10, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, to be fair, I saw the plethora of national news headlines about it before I even saw the actual tweet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be asking yourself, \u201cWhat could make an elected official speak to anyone in such a hateful and unprofessional way?\u201d I myself was wondering the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The big reason for her inappropriate tweet was that Elon Musk wanted to reopen his Tesla factory in Fremont.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tesla is filing a lawsuit against Alameda County immediately. The unelected &amp; ignorant \u201cInterim Health Officer\u201d of Alameda is acting contrary to the Governor, the President, our Constitutional freedoms &amp; just plain common sense!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1259159878427267072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 9, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Musk was furious regarding the stay-at-home order issued by Alameda County, and rightfully so. These lockdown orders are becoming a blatant violation of our personal freedoms, and that\u2019s something we should all have a problem with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gonzalez, however, isn\u2019t too fond of the Constitution and American values. Instead of handing this professionally, or just not getting involved at all, she handled things in her typical fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn\u2019t Gonzalez\u2019s first time in the news for something gross and unprofessional. She\u2019s gotten her five minutes of fame in the past. For example, she has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/2020\/05\/assemblywoman-lorena-gonzalez-demeans-protesters-who-want-their-jobs-back\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">demeaned protestors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who wanted their jobs back, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/2020\/02\/assemblywoman-lorena-gonzalez-shouts-fk-donald-trump-at-campaign-event\/\">shouted<\/a>\u00a0&#8220;F**k Donald Trump&#8221;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0at a campaign event, and she constantly puts unions over the American people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Musk responded to her embarrassing tweet simply and effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Message received<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1259638112688304129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Musk was already threatening to move his company to Texas or Nevada, and Gonzalez may have given him the final push he needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other problem is that Gonzalez will not be the one to suffer if Tesla picks up and leaves the state. Tesla employs about 10,000 Californians and pays taxes like any other business. With them gone, more people will be out of work and the state will lose valuable tax revenue from a major corporation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And all of this, because Lorena Gonzalez feels like she\u2019s in high school and wanted to be at the center of attention. She even admitted that this was part of her motivation for the vulgar tweet.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">California has highly subsidized a company that has always disregarded worker safety &amp; well-being, has engaged in union busting &amp; bullies public servants. I probably could\u2019ve expressed my frustration in a less aggressive way. Of course, no one would\u2019ve cared if I tweeted that.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Lorena Gonzalez (@LorenaSGonzalez) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LorenaSGonzalez\/status\/1259505015795793927?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 10, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Like much of what Gonzalez does, this wasn&#8217;t on behalf of workers or any other worthwhile cause. It was purely out of spite and resentment that she holds for anyone more successful than her. While this latest stunt will acquire support from her usual financial backers, it&#8217;ll also alienate people who&#8217;ve become wary of her routine and thirst for power. Gonzalez is a charlatan and a fraud, and it&#8217;s time we recognize her for who she is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Michael Palomba It seems like I can\u2019t go a week without hearing something disappointing from Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez.
