How low of an IFR would it take before you accepted that exposure? Would incidentally exposing them to the common cold be ok?
It's not the infections that matter - it's the deaths. And, with Tesla's 10k factory workers and the assumption that they're heathy people between 20 and 60, you'd see somewhere between 1 and 50 deaths. (Assuming that Italy's health care worker CFR is representative) Is this worth it? I don't know. But there's a point where it would be.

If we lived in a sane world that valued EVERY individual human life above the self-serving dreams of an egotistical, arrogant sociopath, the answer would be zero.

Such a question screams for a sarcastic answer: in case you haven’t noticed, Covid-19 is not the common cold.
I was unaware that Tesla workers were slaves. Unless they aren't - in which case they would have the option to not return yet.

Well, factories kill people in accidents. Not often, but it happens. Does that mean we can never reopen factories, even without disease?

No, it isn't. But this is a thought experiment - and an example of orgs willingly exposing masses of people to a disease.
What is important is that (a) it is voluntary and (b) it is disclosed.
Your comment is very insensitive. You come from a position of priviledge. Not everyone has the option to stop working. People have mouths to feed. Debts to pay. Parents to support. I am sure there is more than 1 tesla worker that is anxious to return back to work.
Why would you hold them back? Do you really think you know better than the person affected ?
