BILLIONAIRE buffoon and Tesla CEO Elon Musk visited the company’s first European plant toay as production resumed a week after a suspected arson attack cut its power supply.

Production at Tesla’s plant in Gruenheide, near Berlin, came to a standstill last Tuesday. Tens of thousands of residents, nearby hospitals, nursing homes and a big logistics centre for a German grocery chain were also initially affected.

The electricity supply to the plant was restored on Monday evening.
