Getty ImagesElon Musk is jumping on the bandwagon, following major U.S. companies in recognizing Juneteenth as a holiday for Tesla TSLA and SpaceX workers. “Juneteenth is henceforth considered a US holiday at Tesla & SpaceX,” Musk tweeted on Friday morning, about two hours after emails were sent to all company staff at 8:18 a.m. Pacific time. The notification appears to have been sent after the start of first-shift assembly work at the company’s Fremont, California, plant. The protest at Fremont is to begin at 1 p.m. local time.
