If health care workers can't avoid getting themselves infected, even though they have expertise and training, there is no way that Tesla will be able to prevent the virus from spreading within the factory. It's a ticking time bomb at this point, just like the meat packing plants and the other factories that have spread the disease. Once a single person with COVID-19 comes into the Tesla plant, it's guaranteed to spread like wildfire. Things like social distancing is merely a tactic to slow the spread down, but it won't actually help you if someone 6 ft from you has COVID-19 and is breathing vigorously or is eating lunch 6 ft from you.

If Musk isn't right there on the factory line among the workers and endangering his life along with the workers that he is forcing to come work for him, then I will lose a tremendous amount of respect for him. If anything, this should be a good opportunity for the factory workers to unionize and demand better treatment.
