My understanding is there was a closed door meeting and the press conference video. So we don't know what went on behind closed doors. Little to no information provided. It may be more about us being happy.

Very well said. Good or Bad ? Can't tell, no telling.
I do really like the idea of our hero CEO going to Shreveport to quietly tell the loudmouths to STFU.
I have a good feeling hearing Paul defend his Shreveport operation. Like I said before, if I were Mr Elio, I would live in that factory, and paint the Elio logo on everything.

Oh this is good... Paul looks ecstatic!
And he's got his latte. At least he's consistent.

"I want to say that Elio motors continues to be and has been committed to creating jobs in Shreveport in this facility We have never wavered on that and I'm very excited about where Elio Motors sits today." Paul Elio, May 11th.
I take that statement at face value and believe Paul has too much at stake to be more specific, I find myself quietly optimistic.

This reporter's twitter feed has lots of info.

In particular, this video clip:
https://twitter.com/vshirley/status/862749588566007810
In it, PE says that EM's lease on the plant is NOT keeping anyone else out of the area, or out of the US, as some of the local Caddo politicos have claimed. In short: The other two companies that expressed interest in moving to the GM plant four years ago have still not announced any plans for moving into the US at all. Therefore there is no way that EM's lease on the plant lost jobs for Caddo, since those jobs were never created at all.
Edit: Also, the second company was given a 6 month option on the property, then let it expire without any comment or movement, and never executed the consolidation plan they were supposedly investigating.

OK, thanks booboo...
So... now we know a few things that we didn't know before.
Paul does a really good imitation of Sean Spicer,
The Caddo Parish Sheriff is an idiot,
And people now wonder if Steven Jackson kisses his mother with that mouth.
I say again, there are gypsies in the palace and you just can't buy this kind of entertainment for any amount of money.

Since we're all here as unqualified analysts (lol), let me start first and put words in their mouths based on this picture: (by the way, that wasn't a smile from PE, that's a smirk!)
Paul emerging from the meeting and talking to himself "Like it or not, I'm still the head huncho and I decide when to pull the plug! So between now and then, you can all kiss my a_ _!" The other guy on the phone talking to somebody "oh yeah, we got him! I told him he can't bullshit his way around it anymore, you've got no funding so you can't obviously make cars out of nothing and that's just the fact! Give it up or it'll get uglier for you!".
