    I wouldn’t be surprised if he one day says all Tesla models will become gasoline powered.

        Now while I don’t condone it, a Tesla rolling coal in front of one of those lifted trucks that microdick dipshits drive would be hilarious.

    Move your electric car company to a state that can’t keep its power grid up. Brilliant!

    Cool. Luckily he’s got enough money to set up their own power generation. Hope his educated workforce is willing to move to a state with worse employer insurance too.

      The things that are good for workers are exactly the reason he wants to leave. I hope they view Musk as an antagonist rather than a team member.

    Bullshit.

    He just threw down big support for trump, he knows trump cant win CA so this could be a ploy to help him in TX.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/elon-musk-goes-all-in-on-donald-trump/ar-BB1q5TOi

    Additionally, musks good friend Ken Griffin of Citadel Securities as well as Blackrock are opening a rival to NYSE in (you guessed it) Texas. Whether or not its related, idk.

      I’m not sure what’s more useless: Helping Trump win CA or helping Trump win TX. One is an impossibility, and the other a foregone conclusion.

      But I bet he loses a ton of engineers who won’t live in Gilead.

        and the other a foregone conclusion.

        Biden was only about 2.8% of the vote from winning Texas in 2020. 2024 Biden certainly isn’t going to do better than 2020 Biden, but another candidate probably could…

        TX is purple friend.

        In 2020, Bidens 3 closest states to flip blue were FL, NC, and TX

          Y’all ain’t acting like it. I have heard this purple Texas thing repeatedly and islands of blue in a sea of red isn’t purple.

              If only our electoral system worked?

              I am saying TX isn’t purple.

              A purple state wouldn’t have SO MANY Republicans at all levels of government.

                Clearly you dont understand who is running Texas. Gerrymandering, removal of ALL ballot drop boxes in Harris County except 1, and so many more techniques to cheat their way to the top. Then theres also Ken Paxton lol…

                I do think protests should be happening, but Texas is purple AF even if it doesnt look like it.

                  Clearly you don’t understand my first sentence - you can argue that TX is purple, but the results show that not to be the case.

                  I wish we weren’t up against all the things you list that keep TX from being properly represented. But I also have some skepticism, because I think a lot of these things grow from local governance. Were are the blue towns?

    Didn’t he already move Tesla to Texas and then realize that nobody with any talent wants to live there?

      Yeah, we’ve heard this before. It was like, “Texas is our symbolic headquarters, we aren’t moving our factory.” SoaceX will be the same. They have already built a massive new factory over previous buildings (Starfactory), but they aren’t moving any of the jobs from their main LA factory there.

    Well musk is a fucking moron so who cares? Also he isn’t moving to Texas because of that. It’s because he wants more money just like the rest of the greedy billionaire assholes.

    Well good luck in that shit hole of a state you racist piece of shit.
