Speaking to reporters at the site, Mr. Musk emphasized his commitment to moving forward with the plant’s growth, despite the challenges posed by the fire. He reiterated the importance of the plant in Tesla’s overall strategy and its role in creating jobs and contributing to the local economy.
The visit by Mr. Musk and his son underscored their hands-on approach to managing Tesla’s operations and their willingness to address challenges directly. It also served as a reassurance to employees and stakeholders that the company remains steadfast in its goals despite setbacks.
