I wish I could move, get out of LA. It’s horrible out here, so many homeless, 35% income tax, 10% sales tax, unaffordable housing, I could go on and on, really. It’s terrible out here.

[sCWasP]

With the size of the plot of land that Tesla's bought in Austin and now this, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tesla eventually move their HQ there.

[sueyuyu]

As entrepreneur, I'm thinking leaving as well.

States have to compete for talent. Good luck CA in keeping Elon, lol.

[EVEMASTER]

Not big surprise he is tired of californias BS.

[arbsan]

All these rich people moving to Texas because CA taxes are getting way to high now

[LightofBankai]

Here comes the liberals. They'll flip that state in 2024.

Not surprised. Cali is loosing all of the rich, smart and wealthy due to their wokeness.

[Saxxin]

HP is moving too. California is a sinking ship.

The Alameda County Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez will go down as the dumbest bureaucrat in American history.

[franksanchez]

I'm happy for elon he needs to do whats best for him !!

[TheRealCantaraBella]

Damn, all these companies leaving California

[agoodfriendwillalwaysstaby]

It'll be good to see what will happen to California if the tech companies leave or at least many of them decide to leave.
I don't think the biggest will do that but who knows, also Seattle could be a good home for tech companies.

[TheodoreAndor]

Oh yes and he is not stupid. He knows what's coming

[socialarb]

Elon will definitely not move for tax reasons.

[FighterFlash]
