The tweet in question? “F—k Elon Musk,” from progressive California Assemblywoman Lorena S. Gonzalez.
Ok Texas how about we keep Elon Musk and you take Lorena Gonzalez?
To: artichokegrower
That name confused me. Seattle has a commie on the city council named Lorena Gonzalez who is currently the council president and leading candidate to replace the “Summer of Love” Mayor of Seattle Jenny “Bighands” Durkin.
Both Lorena’s are insane commies it appears.

He also mentioned California's punitive taxes, that he couldn't open his plant due to COVID lockdowns - and personal taxes that he won't have to pay in Texas -
He said California is not as affordable and his workers have a long commute...‘It’s like we’re spam in a can here,’ he said, adding that there’s sparse affordable housing and a lot of workers have a long commute.
This is from the British Press, BTW.
Good for him, I just open the workers he's bringing with him don't bring their voting habits with them to Texas. Alameda county is very heavily democrat.

"“I receive tweets like that probably on an hourly basis and I’m staying here and I love this state,” Newsom said,.."The difference is, newsom is an unsavory sleazy scumbag that deserves every "f**k off" tweet.

They’re both wonderful conservative Catholics like so many FReepers have been saying over the years…

Just an attempt by the media to deflect from how bad Cali is for business. Claim it was a bad tweet that did it, instead of recognizing the awful business climate.

If “F—k Elon Musk” causes Musk to move his HQ to a more favorable state, will “F—k Joe Biden” cause get him to move to more favorable clime, too? I think North Korea would be a lot more fitting for FJB.

Newsom hasn’t done a single productive thing in his entire slimy life. Musk has built visionary business empires.

No, but Austin does.
Homes are almost unaffordable now. Tesla will increase prices driving the average Austinite out of the market.

Will he hire new people or bring Californians ?

California went from being the crown jewel of the United States to being a third world sh*thole. Glad Musk got out - wish he had chosen Florida for his company...
