Elon Musk has confirmed that it has shut down its Tesla Factory in Fremont, California, and it was during the stock market decline of the company, which is also the time that the EV company has invested in cryptocurrency. The problem on Tesla Fremont was not because of financial issues or with its corporate, rather, it was because of parts shortage on its supply end.

The multi-CEO billionaire has answered the question of a fan, which was concerned on the recent shutdown of one of the company's earliest factories, in Fremont. Moreover, the company has been the focus of the news of the recent times, as Elon Musk has faced several issues regarding different reasons.
One of those reasons is because of Tesla's Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investment, which has used company assets to purchase the cryptocurrency for the EV manufacturer's stock. However, it was also during the time that Tesla is seeing a decline, as its shares are dipping in the market for no known reasons.

The company has been subject to ups and downs lately, and it was not exactly beneficial for them, however, the case of the Fremont Factory is isolated to the case. Moreover, Tesla Fremont's supply and parts shortage was overlooked by the company, as something that has shut down the factory for two full days is not a small or little thing.
Despite this, Elon Musk has remained cool and calm in addressing his fan who asked for the shut down, which has been initially speculated to be more than two days. According to Fox Business, the company was supposed to halt the Model 3 production in the factory, and it would be for two full weeks.
