Elon Musk says Tesla HQ 'will move to Texas or Nevada immediately' and plans lawsuit after California county health official says factory CAN'T reopen, days after Gov Gavin Newsom gave green light

Elon Musk has announced that he plans to move the Tesla HQ to Texas and Nevada 'immediately' after a California county health official said that the plant could not reopen.

The disgruntled CEO took to a comment thread on Twitter to share that he was also planning to file a lawsuit against Alameda County.

'Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately,' he said in the Saturday tweet. 'If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependent on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.'

I am happy in a way, but sad in another.

Maybe the Bay Area and California will see the light and open up now.

Free California now!!!!

Oh no Elon is doing something I like

Very sorry for the workers in Fremont but I guess most of them voted for the democratic machine that is the Bay Area.

Elon, Nevada welcomes you with open arms! Put your HQ in N. Nevada to be near your huge battery plant.

I don’t believe he will actually make the move even if he loses in court,

...but if he does, then good for him.

(although Nevada isn’t much better than Caifornia, and he should stay out of Austin, San Antonio or Houston if he goes to Texas)

Go to Texas, Elon. But leave any left-wing voting ideas in California.

“Come to Texas Elon.”

Only if he leave every employee behind. Otherwise, go to Oregon or Washington

As a Texan, I am a bit ambivalent about this. I have a lot of admiration for Elon Musk, but he’s not perfect. His Tesla cars rely upon fossil fuel energy plants to charge the cars and they are dependent on cobalt that is often mined by child slave laborers, and the overall toxic footprint of electric cars make fossil fuel cars look positively organic.

“Very sorry for the workers in Fremont”

Virtually all immigrant aliens or East Bay gang bangers.

If there’s a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant in the crowd it’s probably a blonde female they keep around to brighten up the joint.

They vote for the freak show, they ruthlessly discriminate against ANY white males who apply to work there, and do worse if they actually get hired there.

It’s 99% anti-American California Rat party convention.

I don’t know how Musk has put up with it this long.

Wouldn’t waste one tear on that gang of Orks.
