He threatened to do so months ago, but it looks like he was actually being serious.

Elon Musk has announced he is leaving Silicon Valley for Texas, and predicts the tech hotspot could lose its influence.
The billionaire entrepreneur declared that California had "too much influence in the world" but that its power is waning.
Tesla, valued at $500bn (372bn), has its headquarters in California, but will build a new factory in Austin.

This is what he said in May:
"Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependent on how Tesla is treated in the future."

Another Californian coming down to drive up rent and ruin the Austin experience.

Everybody knows the cutoff for REAL Austinites is approximately one to two years after I moved here.

Nobody gives a ****. He can take his covid denying ass out of here and nobody will miss him.

California is still the 4th largest economy on the planet, with or without Tesla.

He is just being a baby back bitch about this. Literally running away because he doesnt like safety rules and that they dont bow down to him.

Tesla is building a new factory in Texas, not its HQ. He's moving to Texas to be closer to that and the SpaceX projects.

People act like business LEAVING california is the end of the world, completely ignoring the fact that countless NEW businesses are setting up in California.

40,000,000 people live here, California will be just fine. In fact without California, all the other states wouldn't have about 80% of the "tech" things people use these days.

Let's stop acting like red states contribute anywhere near what California contributes to this country and the world.

This is all about the rich wanting to pay less taxes and having less regulations again. This is why Tesla is moving, because they want to be able to tell their employees they have to go into work during a pandemic or they will be fired.

Tesla isn't moving its HQ. Elon Musk is just moving from California to Texas because they're building a new factory near Austin and he wants to be closer to that and SpaceX projects.

The more the rich dicks flee to Texas the more they buy up the country side for their factories and price out the people living there.

I'm sure most of you people work for a living. You would all absolutely have worse lives if it wasn't for the protections California imposes on businesses that get applied or picked up nationwide.

And this is why we need national business regulations.

State by State law allows corporations to just keep hopping from state to state avoiding regulation.

By big tech do you also mean bio-tech? How about healthcare? Agriculture? Entertainment?

its amazing you think California is only big tech. Youre either woefully misinformed or uneducated on Californias economy.

Maybe I can go stalk Maynard. I did see Tool at Santa Barbara Bowl, and I saw A Perfect Circle with NIN (floor seats) during the fragility tour at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood.

Or maybe I can go stalk Doug Stanhope.
