Welcome to Texas…and Austin, which used to be in Texas.

[NWFree]

It's a win win. Musk will better succeed in business and California will become an even worse dirtbag state like they want

[EliRoom8]

Are you sure it is Austin?

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

Elon has become a pleasant surprise...

[armourenthusiast]

I find it amusing that Elon is unaware of the democrat like crime in Austin.

[caww]

Three cheers!

[EliRoom8]

Starbase is outside Brownsville, Tx.

[Starboard]

Is Austin all that much better? He could have found a less liberal place in Texas.

[maddog55]

Austin is little California in Texas.

He’s going to end up having a massive tech park there - running X and Grok AI and his Self-Driving Car data centers and of course Space X. That’s a lot of talent which can all be pooled together, pulled together, moved for special projects etc.

If I recall when be bought Twitter he came in with a handful of his Tesla programming engineers to clean those servers up. He even pulled a bunch of the servers out, literally, by himself and a few other guys to prove that they weren’t needed (I think they were the shadowbanning censorship algos). Or so the story goes.

Elon is a smart man. He loves Liberty and he follows the science.

Welcome to Texas…and Austin, which used to be in Texas.

Google says that Brownsville TX is 351 miles from Austin.

[Sacajaweau]

Elon is obviously a “fool Me once” guy...you don’t get a second chance...

[Vendome]

Tax revenues follow the HQ

“Elon is a smart man. “

A smart man with common sense!

Why move to Texas? I think if I owned a company I would move it to Kingman, AZ. Land and homes are cheap. It is close to 3 major population centers (Las Vegas, Phoenix and Southern California). Transportation crossroads. Close to Vegas and Grand Canyon and Colorado River. If I was young I would invest in land there. I live in Reno and it is great here but expensive.

I always said that Austin is the anus of Texas, and El Paso (and Dallas) is the armpit, while Houston is the crotch.

[AndyJackson]

Austin? You mean that suburb of Berzerkeley.

[Redleg Duke]

Kingman, AZ, for the young creative geniuses of SpaceX?

Riiiiight!

[waterhill]

Space rockets in Travis County?

It’s gonna be near the gulf. Brownsville area.
