A public official tweeting 'F*ck Elon Musk' is hardly responsible behaviour either.

Just to be clear, the public official who tweeted that has nothing to do with Alameda County. She's an assemblywoman from San Diego. And I'll note that her angry tweet doesn't endanger anyone's life.
So far, Alameda County officials have been very subdued in their response - too subdued, in my opinion. They're afraid of Musk moving his factory out of town. It's a terrible message to send that large businesses can ignore public health regulations, and avoid consequences by threatening to leave.
