Elon Musk announced that Tesla will move its headquarters and more from California to Texas and Nevada due to the local response to the coronavirus, which he believes is excessive.
Over the last few weeks, Musk has been criticizing the shelter-in-place orders and restrictions related to the pandemic – going as far as calling them fascist.
Things are now starting to ramp up from just talk to actions.
As we reported earlier this week, Tesla attempted to reopen Fremont factory following comments from California’s Governor about starting to slowly reopen the state, but Alameda County, where the Fremont factory is located, shut down Tesla’s attempt to restart production.

Push out job-creating businesses, bring in criminals and illegals. Way to go, Newsome.
Good for Elon, all across the state there are others taking similar actions. Many small businesses are going underground and still operating, large businesses are quietly moving important assets out of the state. People aren’t going to allow a communist takeover to shutdown their livelihood, it’s that simple. Communists are more than welcome to redistribute their own wealth, but everyone else is opting out.
Texas doesn’t have an income tax, either.
Yay more CA refugees. Just what TX needs.
Wait for it . . .
Wait for it . . .
Wait for it . . .
Is Musk going to vote to Make America Great Again, Again?
Newsome can count on criminals and illegal aliens to vote Democrat.
Mr. Woke wakes up to the tyranny of liberalism. As if he would ever vote Republican. What a hypocrite. He and all of his employees will just turn Texas purple that much faster.
Cruz barely won last time, with two Trump rallys supporting him and the dumbest POS opponent ever.
Great move by Musk. Hopefully more California CEOs will follow his lead. That’s what it takes to get the people in CA that vote for the Rats to start seeing the light... but I’m being an optimist.
Nevada is essentially blue...so frankly Elon, there’s not much protection there any longer.
Do it
That’s 15,000 jobs vaporized right there...
Spreading the CA virus further, faster, does not benefit the rest of us.
Personally I wish he had not built his battery plant in Nevada, I have seen no benefit from it but a lot of down-side.
Good man.
People have the freedom to criticize him, but he’ll walk if he’s not happy.
The idiots in CA, who don’t care about anything, don’t care to lose a tax-paying business and employees.
They really should be made to live in the mess they worked so hard to create. Now he gets to play the wildcard: will he or won’t he endorse Trump? Maybe if we kiss up to him a bunch he will! /s
Many a company made that move before the epidemic due to regulations and high taxes.
They shouldn’t get too excited, this may only cause Texas to flip faster.
Cruz ran a terrible campaign. Just look at the statewide offices to see how much he should have won by.
A large % of Tesla owners/drivers are Demos in name, and they will hammer Newscum for this bs.
Now, they will be torn between their two Gods, Tesla/Musk versus Nazi Newscum the Insane Covidictator.
I’m sure that Kalifornia’s tax structure compared to Texas’ has nothing to do with it.
