    This is hilarious. With the Texas electrical system, there’s going to be days when they cant operate.

    My company cancelled opening up a campus there because of that issue!

      Because he is not really moving. Moving the HQ doesn’t mean moving the entire company. He is just moving the address of where the corporation is registered and only move the the finance and admin department to Austin. Texas has no corporate income tax.

      Just like how he “moved” Tesla to Austin. and turned the office in California into a R&D hub. So basically every Tesla employee in California stayed in California.

      He could drop a few billion into TX power grid infrastructure and probably buy quite a bit of goodwill.

          *Taxes with fewer steps.

          No need for all that pesky tax paperwork, save for end-of-year tax filings.

        Dude could foot the bill to end world hunger. Doubt either would happen anytime soon. The last charitable thing I can remember him doing was offering that dumbass submarine in the Thai cave rescue before calling the actual rescuer a pedo.

          Also investing into local infrastructure or running your own seperate seperate infrastructure is more of a Fordian thought process. Which has been all but abandoned by the modern corporate class. I legit dont get why companies with large campuses specifically with large parking lots arent fallibg over themselves to build awnings with solar panels on top.

    Oh look… Apartheid-boy is moving his company to a more overtly white supremacist location and blaming his daughter for it.

    I am so surprised.

      He wanted to go Texas for the taxes for quite some time now. All he needed was a lame excuse to blame his own cheap decision on someone else.

        So maybe I’m stupid but… Why? Why does he feel he needs an excuse beyond “taxes are cheaper in Texas”? Like, it’s understandable that a business owner wants to reduce costs, and reducing your taxes is one good way to do it. The blowback from saying something relatively mild like “I want to pay less taxes” is going to be way less than the blowback of saying “I want to leave California because trans people have too many rights here” right?

        I’m not trying to defend Musk or anything here, I’m just so confused why he’s going this route

        He can farm hay on the SpaceX property and pay farm taxes in Texas. There are several mega factories down there that do this same thing.

    I don’t know why you guys hate on Elon. Should have the right to know what happening to their children. Schools shouldn’t be hiding anything from the parents.

      This is actually a misrepresentation of the law.

      The law bans school districts from requiring teachers to report if students start experimenting with different pronouns.

      Teachers can still report this to parents. There is nothing barring them from doing so. The only change is that they aren’t policed by their school district.

      Technically, this is actually the classically conservative position!

      This whole thing is extremely stupid. Parents should take care of their own shit. You want to know what your kid is thinking? Talk to them. Demanding that the trusted adults in their lives who DO pay attention to them narc for you is a weak-ass move for parents who run to the nanny state to help them raise their kids because they don’t know how to manage their own damn family life.

      In the case of abuse at home should the school tell the parents if the kids report it? Where do you draw the line for privacy and what difference does it make if the parents are aware their kid gos by different pronouns at school? Why do so many people look at kids like they are property…? And this is coming from someone who can’t stand being around kids most of the time…

      You are wrong. Students develop independent identity at school. Parents are not entitled to every detail of their child’s life.

      I hate to break it to you, but if a child tells the school before they tell their own damn parents, there’s a reason for that.

      Schools are often where abused kids are able to build trust with adults and actually talk about their home life. Sure there’s plenty the school should inform the parents of but some things could do serious damage. If they aren’t already, teachers should be getting training on when and how to make that judgement call

      You mean the guy that mistreated his own daughter so bad after she came out as trans that she even changed her legal name just to not be associated with him in any shape or form? The guy who said “can’t win them all” when asked about the topic? You mean you can’t think of a reason why nobody likes that guy?

        For the inevitable report the mods will get: this is directly quoting Elon Musk accusing a volunteer trying to save lives of paedophilia just for disagreeing with him.
