No, Alameda County has always been vague about the dates.

As late as Sunday (today/yesterday), Alameda County hedged and did not give an specific date, only saying "early this week" (https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/05/17/sighs-of-relief-and-h...)

On Friday they said sometime next week (did not specify early or not) (https://www.kron4.com/news/contra-costa-alameda-counties-hol...).

May 8th, they said sometime mid-May (https://abc7news.com/when-california-is-going-to-reopen-stag...)

Finally, at the end of April, Alameda County (and the rest of the Bay Area) extended the lockdowns to expire May 31st, not May 15th, as you stated.

The first lockdown order was set to expire at the end of April, but the first set of extensions issued in April were to expire May 15th in the Bay Area. Before May 15th they extended the extensions to the end of the month.

That is simply incorrect: https://www.sccgov.org/sites/covid19/Pages/press-release-04-...

But throwing a tamptrum and making yourself look like you won feels so powerful, so ...

Not much different that what you're doing right now ...

Nice try, but no. Criticizing someone is not throwing tantrum, really.

Certain businesses, it's probable/possible Tesla wasn't initially included in the things they intended to allow. Why would they have gone through the public drama if they felt like they were going to be allowed to open based on their private conversations?

Factories were included in the original list.

Wow, this account exists just to flamebait in Elon/Tesla-related topics. Check the history.

This isn't allowed on HN. Get a new obsession.

It's 5 year account with 8K karma and other posts besides Tesla if you give anything more than a cursory glance of a few pages, including posts on deep/technical topics. People are allowed to be anti-Elon/Tesla, it does not mean the account is an antagonist.

Oh no! Linking to recent and relevant NYT articles on Elon! Flamebait!

Even if you have other posts beside Tesla, the HN guidelines say "Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That destroys the curiosity this site exists for." Although constantly criticizing Tesla may not fall under political or ideological battle, it certainly doesn't hold any curiosity.

Sure it does. Musk's public deterioration is a fascinating case study of a personality's transition from leader of a well-intentioned start up company into a straight up bully. Both his celebrity and the ugly influence of social media really have corrupted him. He has gone wrong and it's sad to see.

But attention seeking narcissist seems accurate description of Elon Musk public behavior.

I can sympathise. Elon is a d!ckhead.

He didn't if you go look at the sworn testimony from the trial the diver was the one that initiated that by telling Musk to "Stick His Submarine Where It Hurts".

The diver told Musk to stick a submarine up his ass. Once. And then he moved on.

Musk then publicly called the diver a pedophile, hired a guy to try and find dirt to prove his statement, and then attempted to have the media publish articles calling the diver a pedophile multiple times. And then tried to insinuate that because the diver hadn't told him to stop or sued him, he must be telling the truth. (So of course the diver sued him the next day.)

One of them is the CEO of a a multi-billion dollar company, the other is a diver. These aren't two children on the playground, who "started" it is not relevant.

Uh huh. And why did he create all the public drama over "funding secured" costing himself $20 million and Tesla a further $20 million? It's because he can't help himself:
