Elon Musk and Tesla humiliated as locals veto factory expansion

However, some of Grünheide’s youth feel Tesla’s expansion can benefit their futures.

Silas Heineken, 17, Moritz Tezky, 16, and Tariq Löber, 18, all told The New York Times that they’d “definitely” be interested in a Tesla traineeship or job.

Silas said: “We realized how easy it is for people to be against something, to reject something new,” according to The New York Times.

This group clarified that their municipality’s “general opposition” to the expansion was most bothersome.
