We can hope that the worst of the Leftist that work for Musk will tell him to stuff it and stay in their Socialist Paradise.

Don’t bring your californicators with you to Texas. We have plenty of technical workers here to satisfy your personnel needs.

Moving to Austin isn’t moving to Texas.

Austin much like NOLA gets a bad rap here

I like Austin

It’s possible to live near liberal cities in the south and be happy

Same people live around them...a

As Alright Alright Alright said on a Rogan podcast I listened to tonight

Austin is a blueberry in a bowl of tomato soup

No shortage of tomato soup and enjoy the parts of the blueberry u like

Beautiful town....I’ve loved her since the sixties...

She’s the twin sister to where I live

Nashville

Few two cities so alike

Austin had more actual hippies once

And Nashville always has winter....we are elevation diversity

They are more plateaus and bigger sky

More western....

I love central Texas....and my former home Big D

Hell I love Texas and Texans

They must want a state with fewer rolling blackouts … for now.

Our own progressives are hard at work to make here California too.

You kidding? Austin is a Socialist Paradise. This is just another degenerate billionaire's plan to turn a red state blue.

It’s all about the dollars. More money into their local economy means more votes for the pimps in office.

With all the great places to move a company to in Texas.

Austin would be my last, on the list.

Leftist City.

Dell chose Round Rock and his own city developed.

....and you will see housing prices in Austin, and probably the surrounding ‘burbs, go up as well....
we have friends who recently sold their house in the city of Austin....2 bedrooms, 2 baths; small house on a small lot...sold for almost a million dollars.....have other friends living in the ‘burbs who bought a modest home several years ago for about $200,000.... can sell it tomorrow for half-a-million bucks, easily....

Very true.

While Musk seems rather wish washy, his employees don’t seem to be the type that would vote for President Trump. Just more liberal, tech folks in Texas turning to turn it Blue.

All so those pimps can get the votes and the money.

"Austin is the dem haven in Texas....Interesting choice, Elon. So, liberals move to Austin....vote the same as they did back home and are SHOCKED when things deteriorate like before. SHOCKED, I SAY!"

What makes Austin liberal is The University of Texas. It is mostly Texans at UT. The progressive Marxist Socialist professors indoctrinate those kids and many stay in Austin after graduation.

It should be noted when the liberal Beto" O'Rourke (Fake Mexican but real Pendejo) ran against Ted Cruz for the Senate the new arrivals from California voted more for Cruz than Beto. Most of those that escape California are not leftists, but a few are.
