Elon Musk moved to Texas and now appears to embrace the politics of the Republic Party and Texas Governor Greg AbbottIn the weeks since Tesla CEO Elon Musk began his gambit to acquire Twitter, he’s grown comfortable voicing partisan political views—usually on the social media platform he covets—including insults aimed at California, President Joe Biden and “the libs.
“Nobody ever accused Elon Musk of gratitude—or even a sense of proportion,” says Mary Nichols, former chair of California’s powerful Air Resources Board, which crafted the ZEV program and championed Tesla as it evolved from a startup to high-volume manufacturer. “He certainly would not be where he is without the ZEV mandate and the cash he got from selling his credits to the other OEMs.
The billionaire’s confirmation that he would invite former President Donald Trump back to Twitter after his ban for comments supporting the Jan. 6 insurrection and lies about the 2020 election was cheered by some conservatives. Likewise, Musk’s intention to make the platform welcoming for controversial views in pursuit of an absolutist view of free speech has, including Representatives Marjorie Taylor Green and Matt Gaetz and Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.
His newfound conservative orientation carries both risks and a potential upside for Tesla, says auto-industry analyst Ed Kim. “When government rather than the market routinely selects the winners and losers, enterprises cannot predict their prospects, and free enterprise is replaced with crony capitalism,” Romney said in a March 2012 speech in Santa Barbara, California. “Solyndra, Ener1, Fisker and Tesla are examples.”
More facts about elonmusk. See a pattern? But for California and the federal government, Tesla would be but a memory. With having received billions of dollars in subsidies Tesla is government created. And that’s how you treat them now? Class act!
Deserving so! California's policies are making harder and harder to do business. Paying your fair share is one thing....being a cash cow for bad policies is quite another!
The hand that fed? He fled that hell hole. The waktavists ruined paradise. And now they are locists decending on Texas
It could the other way around, Elon musk’s fed the employment gap that the government finds very hard to fill
It’s simple. He got richer. And like all wealthy people the only things he fears is taxes and being held accountable. He’s cool with coups and racism if he keeps his coins

Over the years the policies of the liberal supermajority in California have made it harder and harder to do business. elonmusk is just one of many businesses that have found greener pastures outside of California. No one to blame but themselves. california onepartyrule
People like me fed him; investing in his companies and buying his products. We don't need California or the democrats, no one does (save for the thiefs, homeless and drug addicts that seem to succeed there).
