Sucks for you, California.

People that build Car parts should be more conservative than Artists/interior decorators/etc., so it probably won’t make Austin any Bluer.

Now Tesla....move EVERYTHING out of Ca..

[Presbyterian Reporter]

This is a great win for Texas and a big poke in the eye for California.

Only downside to the deal is the location near Austin aka the Communist Center of Texas.

On the other hand the addition of 5,000 workers could sway the politics in Travis County towards the right.

southeastern travis county ain’t the ritz. full of illegals, low-income housing and snarling traffic due to I-35

[Theoria]

Nuts.

[Joe Boucher]

Austin?
The liberal craphole of Texas?

[faithhopecharity]

Congrats to Austin. But be careful spending any city resources on this. If there was ever a giant sized scam this could be it, imho. Just be cautious with any money

[kempster]

Any place but Austin.

[Bullish]

Austin? The liberal infested cesspool of Texas?

How stupid can he get?

[Meatspace]

Lots taxpayer funded incentives in this deal.

A big loss for Texans who pay taxes.

[hadaclueonce]

I remember when Enron was the golden child

[ChuckHam]

Musk should have moved it to a county outside of Bexar county next to San Antonio, or outside of Travis county close to Austin. He would have still been able to leverage those workforces and avoided the liberal politics or either city.

Tesla Factories:
Fremont, California
Reno, Nevada
Shanghai, China
next: Austin, Texas
Tesla Corporate Headquarters: Palo Alto, California

[doorgunner69]

Pleny of liberals there that like those electric golf karts.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

It was down to Tulsa and Austin. He chose poorly. Probably good for Tulsa not to have like liberals moving in.

[Cowboy Bob]

Please! No more H-1B Indians in Texas.
