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.'

Headquarters and manufacturing plants are not the same thing. I doubt Fremont will stop making cars anytime soon.

I understand Musk’s been using the factory Cuomo built in Buffalo to build ventilators. It was originally slated to build solar panels, but the deal between Tesla and Sony broke down, and Sony pulled out, leaving a billion dollar construction project worth only $75 million is a recent audit. That project, like the Syracuse, New York projects that went bust, ended up with people going to prison for fraud. One of the individuals in the solar panel factory build who went to prison was the President of the construction company.

“Otherwise, go to Oregon or Washington”

More specifically, within 100 miles of the coast in OR or WA. The lefties would not find much hospitality further inland.

Give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. Give unto God what is God’s.

When I got married, it was a commitment between myself, my wife, and God. It still is. We have a great relationship and I’m still happy as a pig in ....

Government is involved now. Therefore, marriage is stupid until government either removes itself from the equation, or reforms the absolutely repulsive tyrannical family courts. No fault divorce = playing Russian roulette with 5/6 chambers loaded, once a year, till death or divorce do you part.

“Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.”

If Musk were half as smart as he pretends and many believe, the above would have been sufficient clue to never have started there.

“Guess he’s had enough communism.”

...that is not under HIS control!

He has often demanded special treatment up to and including a ban on ICE vehicles so as to give his own products special advantage.

Austin is insane with libs. Just one sidewalk poop away from San Fran. The mayor is actually giddy that the stay at home or you die order has been extended to May 31 for the city and June 15 for the county.
