    I grew up and had a long working career in California, and left 7 years ago. Could never understand why Musk would want to have a factory in California. California is a terrible place to operate nearly any business. City and State regulations make it very expensive to operate a business compared to other states….

    Tesla can open safely plus save thousands of lives with safe driving cars. Best safety record. Save thousands of lives in California alone already .

    Alameda County will become the laughingstock of the business world. Let’s see how many jobs they produce when Tesla leaves town.

    This greedy piece of shit doesn’t give a fuck if his employees get COVID as long as he’s making bank. This doesn’t have anything to do with CA. He can’t wait to do business with Communist China, that’s all.

    Central Valley in California is very business friendly. We hate to see Tesla go out of California. We love Tesla cars and trucks.

      Yea, because California wants him to follow their unconstitutional bullsh!t. Last I check, unconstitutional law will break any contract. “Keep the money for $500 Alex”

    All Elon really needs to do is wave a TRUMP flag and the rest will play itself out.

    Tesla one of the greenest companies on the planet being squeezed out by liberals.
    I would say that was ironic but it just goes to show how self destructive demorats and their policies are.

    Tesla is the last major car manufacturing plant in California. Drove the rest of them off with excessive regulations and bureaucracy that made California unable to compete except in technological sectors, which requires skilled labor and aren’t as easy to move. *It isn’t due to a lack of effort on the car manufactures part either, Toyota tried to run the NUMMI plant after GM pulled out and lobbied for breaks or incentives, nothing took so they pulled out, which is how Tesla got there in the first place*

    That is what all business in CA need to do move out, there are 49 other states that would be glad to have you and you tax dollars.

    California has become a total shithole anyway thanks to Dems and Libs. He would be much more appreciated by other state’s citizens for the jobs he creates. California is doomed anyway thanks to the morons running it.

    Auto companies have packed up and moved before in surprising little time.
