Elon Musk Says Three Things Are Ruining California

[cancel2 2022]

.

Tesla CEO calls California a ‘one-party’ state that's hostile to business and innovation.

Elon Musk may have founded most of his companies in California, but he’s become increasingly critical of the state as a place to do business.

The Tesla (TSLA) - Get Tesla Inc Report CEO made that much clear in recent comments during a virtual appearance at the recent All-In Conference held in Miami.

“California used to be the land of opportunity,” Musk told the audience. However it’s turned into “the land of taxes, overregulation and litigation and this is not a good situation.”

Musk became increasingly critical of the state as Tesla ramped up its production facilities. He famously built the first so-called gigafactory in neighboring Nevada, after winning generous tax concessions from that state. He went on to build facilities in Shanghai and near Berlin. But when the time came for a new U.S. factory, Musk opted for Texas.

He boasted that the recently opened Gigafactory near Austin – a building three times the size of the Pentagon – was completed in just 18 months.

“If you had a gun to [California Governor Gavin Newsom’s] head and said ‘we need to start building this factory right now,’ he couldn’t do it,” Musk said. “There are so many regulatory agencies and so many litigators in California that want to stop you from doing anything that even if you’re the governor of the state, you cannot get it done,” he added.

Musk laid the blame for California’s challenges on its political environment.

“It’s a one-party state,” Musk complained, noting that Democrats hold a super-majority in the state legislature and all of the statewide elected offices. The state’s elected officials “will never be responsive except to the people that funded them,” he added.

“Ultimately the people of California have to get fed up and demand change,” Musk added. “There’s got to be an above 0% chance of the Republicans winning in California.”

If you want one government body that is 100% obstructionist and impossible to work with, it's the California Coastal Commission. If you live or do anything in their jurisdiction you are absolutely fucked. Recently, in the middle of one of the worst droughts and water shortages in California, they nixed a water desalination plant that the developers went out of their way to make environmentally friendly.

If you want to do virtually anything with property within their jurisdiction it can take months to years to get a permit for the simplest things.

Why do people care about the states they don't live in?

I live next door, and have friends that live in Cali. Most of them want the hell out but can't move for economic and job related reasons.

California is Gone.

As the self inflicted misery level goes up people will do it anyways.

I would hardly consider this person Musk as a ethical advisor toward the common decency of society and the well being of society too when it comes to the best interest of America versus corruption among them who are born with a silver spoon stuck up their snooty and egotistical and corrupt hides. Let Musk work about 30 years on the J.O.B. from 8:30 am to 5 pm sweating bullets every day in the office at skating on thin ice with a dragon of a boss and scandalous office politics with the back stabbing and setting one up for failure instigators but to emerge from that corporate dungeon as a winner through it all, and to get the coffee right or else. Additionally, as a real accomplishment on someone's law abiding work ethics and endurance as a working class legacy of America.

If Musk can document that half of Bidens followers are fake then watch the fuck out.

My brother says "If Musk does something good then I will cheer, but I am not particularly expecting him to."

I think he already has done good.

Brotherly Disagreement.

What are the "best interests of America?" They certainly aren't anything the Joke administration is doing. So, I ask, what are the best interests of America?

Aside from your trolling interests at being in a un-American shit hole as follows: Actually, it appears the influence of Musk in the sewer with the tRump crowd of degenerates has disrupted the integrity of Twitter that is weighing heavy on its shareholders in a negative way. There is no legitimate integrity when there are them who choose by their own free will to go down the corrupt pathway with the devil versus the decency of having and abiding by lawful and ethical standards of the USofA.
