“You have a forest of redwoods, and the little trees can’t grow,” Musk said, adding that the government should “just get out of the way” of innovators.

Musk is sounding a lot like Hank Reardon in Atlas Shrugged.
Yeah, if they move to Austin what’s the difference? Other than no state income tax. Will he move his businesses? Doubt it.
Translation: I hate the sky high taxes in CA and love the low taxes in TX but I can’t admit that to my throngs of Dim fans.
I assume they’re Patriots! ;o) We are in China Spring (NW corner of Waco) - that’s pretty much neighbors in Texas!
I saw what you did there. LOL
Maybe a different view? Musk seems like a grifter with a unique talent to piggyback on US tax dollars. It would be fine if he relocated to Challenger Deep. Salesman—yes. Innovator—no. He has done nothing that has not been done previously but glams on to fed money and technology and then acts as if it his own. Thumbs down.
lol. Paypal was innovative. You really know nothing about him at all.
When someone like him is involved in so many things there are bound to be some that will not be universally popular. Watching that documentary earlier this year just prior to the SpaceX launch solidified in my mind that this guy is really onto something...maybe a person for the ages. His new satellite Internet offering promising 50 to 150 mbps in 2021 with no funny charges and no idling down your bandwidth from a promised 25 mbps to 265 kB/s Promises a great deal.

Yes, if I were to mold an opinion of Elon musk from posts on free republic and stories on daily mail, I will be convinced that he magically conned the government to acquire the contracts for electric cars and dates hot dip shits like Amber Heard who run around with little redheaded faggots.
His history going back to the mid to late 1990s as as a budding entrepreneur is really an invigorating thing to witness. So it goes-in S. Africa (the good side!) he created some cheap little video game in the 1980s on a Commodore or Tandy, sold for like 30 or 40 bucks whetting his ambition for what tech could and would offer, hence very heady investments in products like PayPal etc. He is a programmer, engineer, leader, and visionary.

yeah you are right, other people have launched rockets, built electric vehicles, and started pay services. So you have proved your case, and shortly will be giving us the benefit of your latest invention while announcing you’ve just made your first billion dollars without any aid from anyone, anywhere, at anytime.
BTW: its gloms, not glams
Falcon flies for less money than any other US rocket.
Starship is not financed in any way by the US taxpayer.
Tesla cars no longer qualify for subsidies.
