Boo Hoo girl is sad!

As Covid-19 descended on California ... this year, economies began to shut down and the debate raged over what businesses were deemed “essential.” Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, and Alameda County authorities went back and forth over whether the Tesla plant in Fremont should be allowed to reopen.
This dialogue was punctuated by a pithy tweet from Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, who describes herself as a progressive Democrat, “F*ck Elon Musk.”
At that time, we had no idea how much that tweet, and attitude, would cost us.
Nine months later, Elon Musk is gone. He is selling all his personal real estate in the state. He is now a resident of the state of Texas. He has moved his philanthropic foundation to Texas, too.
Consider the unfathomable irony of progressive Democrats forcing Elon Musk to give up on California. Musk came to this state as an immigrant and proceeded to do more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) and its subsidiary, solar panel manufacturer SolarCity Corp., than all the “progressive” politicians in the state combined. Musk didn’t talk about it. He simply brought products to market that benefited the consumer, the environment and his shareholders. He should have been the poster boy for the green agenda, but instead they turned on him because he committed the ultimate sins: He made money and he questioned their authority.
This year, Musk is likely paying billions in state tax. Next year, he will be a resident of another state.
... Musk didn’t just leave the state. He turned on the state. It is now his mission to get other innovators to leave as well.

AOC & Amazon. These people don’t change.
They’re of the devil, and he is all about destruction.
There was a debate? I live here in Commiefornia and I don't remember no stinking debate. I remember decrees and edicts. I remember a County thug coming in and telling us we had to remove half of our shopping carts because we were only allowed 130 customers in the store at a time. I can still see the look on my boss's face as I was hoping she was thinking what I was thinking which was, " You stupid idiot, not everybody uses a shopping cart and, bezides, we have hand baskets. Here's one for you to go to Hell in."
Luckily, we both kept our mouths shut. Which, for me, was a miracle.
They expect their buddies in National government to bail them out, just like the did with Detroit...
F-yous have consequences. Who knew?
Karma’s a bitch, Governor.
Thanks to Seruzawa posting this reality!
Shopping carts would be a more efficient way for liberals to go to hell, and since more than one could fit in one, we could set up an HOV lane to hasten the trip!
Ha haaaaa. A check? What is this?, the olden days?
It’s a mixed bag. She criticized his environmental and worker safety record at his plants. Our world is run by rapaciously greedy oligarch billionaires, who really disdain the small people. I’m not saying California’s better off with him gone. But there’s another side to this.
AOC did the same thing with Amazon in her district. Amazon workers are treated worse than dogs.
Elon Musk as John Galt?
Totalitarian tactics don’t work unless you control the entire country first, dumbbell Democrats. See ya.
Elon Musk as John Galt?
We are all John Galt now.
Thomas Sowell, is another great American.
Thomas Sowell, is another great American.
The Progressive mantra taken from the pages of the Communist Manifesto is “for the greater good.” Under that standard, who provided more for the greater good, a dimwitted legislator with access to Twitter or Musk who provided jobs and paid more than his fair share? No great sympathy on my part for California. Decades of electing left wing proto-facists has led to the current situation. But, never fear. With Biden in office we, the taxpayers, will be tasked with bailing out California and all the other cesspools of Democrat mismanagement.
What is the current over/under on how long the Fremont Tesla assembly plant will still be building Tesla cars?
I say it is empty as soon as July 4, 2021.
The plant is landlocked. Cannot go up...cannot go sideways in any direction.
Assembly will be moved to Texas, and Musk does things with as little delay as possible.
