Elon Musk confirms he’s moved to Texas after a months-long fight with California
Graham Rapier Dec 9, 2020, 5:59 AM
After months of speculation, Elon Musk on Tuesday confirmed he has moved to Texas.
…
“For myself, yes, I have moved to Texas,” Musk continued. “We’ve got the Starship development here in South Texas where I am right now. We’re hopefully going to do a launch later today. And then we’ve got big factory developments just outside of Austin for Giga Texas.”‘
…
His move has been months in the making
Musk’s divorce with California began largely this spring, when local coronavirus restrictions forced Tesla to temporarily close its only US car factory in the San Francisco Bay Area.

If California cannot hold on to green heroes like Elon Musk, just how many businesses is California about to lose, with their high costs, unreliable electricity, and Covid-19 lockdown radicalism?

I thought all the Cali glitterati were supposed to have moved to Canada when D. Trump became POTUS back in 2016.
Don’t hold your breath- we had the same here in the UK back in 2010, all the luvvies were going to leave if we voted Conservative. Four election defeats later, (five if you count Brexit which sent them into total meltdown), and there still here. How many times do I have to vote Conservative before they actually leave?
Doing business in Austin 80s and 90s loved eating at The County Line.
My company made employees check their guns in with the receptionist before entry. LOL
More and more, a common event: Here in Ventura County, just north of LA, yesterday the power company had to shut off power to many of us — as a preventative measure — due to 25-35 mph winds. Are you kidding me??? Growing up in midwestern Missouri with a a dad who was a power company lineman, for us 25-35 mph winds were just a blustery day. Even in our very rural SE MO location, we never experienced power outages, except when the weight of January ice storm would overload the power lines and cause some to come down. (Dad would leave the house to fix the problem and we would be left to crank up the fireplace and candles.) Living in suburban CA now feels more 3rd world than what I experienced growing up.
What a waste of a gorgeous state with an ideal climate. A sister and her two sons and their families have lived in southern California for many years and my family has visited numerous times. My son enjoyed surfing the breaks from San Diego north to Santa Barbara. My wine fixation was satiated for 50 years of visits to Napa/Sonoma and the former liveable San Francisco. I could have retired in Montecito if I could have afforded it. The governing class there is like a bad dream.
I agree – I lived in LA for six months back in ’68. It was a world away from ol’ Blighty.
My fond memories leave me saddened by what it has become.
The ranches there are so big that it takes two or three charging stations to drive your EV around it.
It would take a single charge just to cross Australia’s largest cattle station. 164km north to south and a bit less east to west; total of 24,000sq.km. Not a lot of cattle for the land area – tough country.
He fled Californicate, but he dares not EVER criticize them. Or CHIIINA either.
The refuges from California are fleeing the results of the disastrous liberal policies that are destroying that state. But unfortunately they bring with them the same liberal policies that ruined California. They will also ruin Texas.
Ok smart guy, are you going to buy houses and provide houses?
Fork musk, the guy has money to do as he wants, the majority of us don’t
Not sure what California# AZ is but I cringe every time I see a California license plate…which has gotten to be to often. They have brought their politics here and working on turning us blue. TX lookout.
