Rep. Carlos Giménez, R-Fla., wants Elon Musk to move Tesla's headquarters from Texas to Florida after Democrats swept the Lone Star State in last week's midterm elections, according to a letter obtained by the Washington Reporter.
"While socialist politicians in Texas threaten to punish success, Florida is rolling out the red carpet for innovation, investment, and job creation," Giménez told the outlet.
In the letter, Giménez asked Musk to "consider relocating its corporate headquarters and expanding its operations from Texas to the free state of Florida, where innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic freedom are celebrated."
Texas voters ousted Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, while Florida elected Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., as its next governor.
"With the recent election of self-described Democratic Socialists to positions of power in Texas, I share your concerns about excessive government interference, politically motivated investigations, and policies that punish success," Giménez wrote. "No company should face political retaliation for creating jobs, investing in American innovation, and contributing to our nation's prosperity."
The congressman made his pitch personal.
"I am formally inviting Elon Musk to bring Tesla's headquarters to the free state of Florida, where we believe in rewarding hard work, not attacking it," he said. "As the former mayor of Miami-Dade County, I know firsthand that South Florida has the talent, infrastructure, and pro-business environment to help Tesla thrive.
"Florida will embrace the future!"

Hope Musk does it.
Florida was blue in the not-too-distant past.
If the Democrats take the presidency in 2026, I wouldn’t be surprised if he moves operations out of the USA.
Musk is great but his employees are Democrats.
Florida voted for Obamao both times. Texas didn’t. We went with McQueeg and the guy with magic underwear by heavy double digits.
It wouldn't surprise me.
Maybe Dubai.
Re: Florida being blue
Maybe. The shift to red pretty much coincided with tighter controls on voter fraud. So maybe Florida had been red for a long time, but we just didn’t know it because of, well, fraud.
It’s still got large blue and purple areas, however.
Might be time to start considering secession.
Florida would not be land locked.
We have major ports on both east and west coasts. We have manufacturing, agriculture, tourism, fisheries, financial centers, space ports, a well armed population and much more.
And, we could fully control immigration standards from both international and the remaining Democrats controlled States.
I wonder how Grok would have handled the “hanging chads” back in the day.
South Dakota next?
You still touch Alabama.
