The data, covering the months between May and December, showed there were around 450 total reported cases. Roughly 10,000 people work at the plant.

So 4.5%. Meanwhile around 9% of the population of both California and the US have had positive tests, so this doesn't indicate that the plant was particularly risky.

Zero serious cases?

No symptoms worse than the average flu?

If both points are true, Elon Musk made the right move. Wouldn't you agree?

If Musk made all his staff and suppliers drive without a seatbelt and nobody was seriously injured a month later, would you start advocating for this as national policy too?

A month? It’s been over a year. How much time is appropriate?
