Note that Musk moved the HQ to Austin, one of the most liberal cities in the US and probably the most expensive in Texas, and not for example to Fort Worth, a conservative city next door to Dallas. The fact that TX doesn't have a State income tax or a carbon capture tax but California does, will have also been a factor I'm sure.
