Elon moving SpaceX headquarters to Texas may not crush California but it's definitely going to hurt in two areas:

1. Brain drain

2. Commercial tax base (includes payroll taxes)

Sometimes I wonder if property values got so high in Cali that Newsome and others aren't trying to pull a Lex Luther style evil villain job to crash real estate and then come buy everything up. Cali makes up a massive intercept point for Pacific trade and is a substantial portion of all US coastline.

That’s a very astute observation.

Wouldn’t put it past someone like Elon to play a 4D chess move like that.

You're so right Fren 😊

Shit. I didn't know about X being moved as well. That IS going to really hurt.

That'd be an interesting strategy.

Beyond Elon this time, Cali canis and other tech VCs are also exiting

Isn’t the state basically bankrupt? At some point the whole economy has to collapse.

I presume so but I don't know beyond mere conjecture. I can't imagine they are close to solvent but again, that's mere conjecture on my part.

And Twitter too . . . this isn't looking good for Cali.

If the Boring Company uses SpaceX's Texas headquarters to build a MagLev train to deport illegal aliens back to Mexico, the USA will save billions of dollars and Cali will be out of harms way.
