> Move to Texas follows new California law aimed at preventing gay and transgender students from being outed to their families; ‘this is the final straw,’ Musk says
Musk's estranged trans daughter [1] likely factored into this decision.

I mean, sure its nice to add a political view around this. but let's be honest. the taxes and cost of living in CA is bananas. TX makes so much more sense fiscally.
Wish X and Tesla were coming to Vegas instead though.

Don't elevate a tantrum. He'll lose a lot of people whom he doesn't realize he needs.
Are you capable of considering the statements and actions of individuals of differing politico-ethical views without smug disdain?
Pragmatically, self-righteousness skews perception and understanding.

It would make more sense if Musk said he was moving due to the different regulatory environment, but he said that he’s moving because of a law to protect children.
This looks like an emotional decision by Musk. It really does look like a tantrum to me, but I understand that you view it differently. It’s just that I think you may not realize that others don’t share your perception.

Don't even elevate my tantrum.
Only Texas will give him all the tax breaks and tax funded dollars he wants. Its especially funny given how much Texas gov hates green tech/etc.
Several companies wanted to make similar moves, but it didn’t pan out. You don’t have people that you need, among others.
Right. A law designed to protect children. That is the last straw.
Parents that take this view are the ones the law was written about.
Imagine being an involved, caring and loving parent that wouldn't have any insight in something so fundamental to a person's being. You can't. They would not hide it from you without fear.
Also. Jason Calacanis? Really?

It probably makes sense for the business to move to a venue with a more favorable regulatory environment. The company has been party to multiple lawsuits related to sexual harassment, assault and workplace injury/death and the ability to try cases in a more friendly environment will make it easier to encourage employees to optimize productivity.
