90% of tax revenue from Tesla just left California.
All their IP too...
After the shake-up, Texas is gonna be a GREAT Nation.
All the bragging about CA being the “13th largest economy in the world” or whatever just took a solid kick in the crotch.
More librats for a purpling state.
Gloat away, Texans, but at some point the influx of ex-Californians is going to hurt you. I know, I know: “the people leaving California are the conservatives!” And, yeah, that is certainly true of *some* of them, but it is not truse of all of the. Rest assured to that the ranks of Texas liberals are increasing. Good luck.
Texas was the right move but Austin?
I expect the FAA to really go after Musk/SpaceX now. Musk has basically given the finger to CA, and biden many times. The liberals are going to be pissed off.
“outside of Austin on a property that borders the Colorado River…” Really?
Austin is already proud of being weird, so Californicators should fit right in.
God luck Texas. You wanted all these California companies. Now you got em. Complete with a army of Woke voters.
New math and now new geography.
Ya, we have a Colorado River too.
Be better if he moved tha factories out of China to the USA.
Tesla’s Chinese factory is HUGE.
That jumped out at me as well. Somebody is geographically challenged.
I guess all those frothing pro-aborts didn’t scare Musk away.
No facts to back up my contention, but I suspect that Texas will be OK as long as they ensure that their voting process is not subject to massive fraud. Which is why the Dems in Texas are caterwauling non-stop about the requirement to present IDs when they vote.
Sure, California leans left, but I suspect the tilt wouldn't be that massive IF Democrat voter fraud wasn't institutionalized.
I live in California, but it deserves the trash talk it gets
these days. Despite it being severely harmed by Communist
ideology run amuck, it still cranks out a GDP of $3,183 T as
of 2019. It was $2.987 T in 2020. In 2019, it made up 14.6%
of the total GDP of the United States.
I went to 2019, because complete figures are not as easy to
come by for 2020.
The last year I found a standing rating for it, it was fifth
in the world in GDP. That includes nations. I believe it
still remains 5th today.
I have no idea what California could accomplish, if it just
had a good Governor and state Legislature that had a level
headed pro business approach in the state.
It’s leadership is trying to destroy it, just like
Washington is going full tilt against U. S. Citizens.
There are conflicting numbers out there for the GDP figure
this entity provided. I don’t know what to make of that.
It would seem the figures should be pretty static. The
state was credited with being 5th by each entity out there.
I didn’t hunt and peck for the best figures for the state.
This was the first source I ran into, and I bumped into
other figures as I tried to find decent numbers for 2020.
At any rate, here is where I pulled these figures from.

Really? I did not know that.
