I'm a big Musk fan, but honestly he should have been too smart to locate business in communist areas.
Texas is not such a red state anymore.
Leave California and come to Chef Dong's!
I think he did it for access to Silicon Valley tech and brains as well as CARB's carbon credit scam.

Yeah (what I said in another comment also).
California is one of the most heavily government regulated states.
Elong Musk chose CA because it provides the best opportunity for chronyism--ie. easier to buy the government in CA than elsewhere.
You shouldn't worship Elong Multch, he's not worth the praise.
As long as he gets mankind to the stars I will support him.
I'm pretty sure he only located stuff in CA because it was/still is seen as the tech capital of the US.
As for cronyism I reckon he is the least guilty of that compared to all other companies.
It is surprising the amount of businesses that still do business in CA.
Tbf, the plant he is talking about was a GM plant up until the 80's then It became NUMMI, and something else IIRC then he bought it and tooled it up for Tesla's. It isn't like he had it built from scratch.
Ah ok that makes sense.
EDIT: You were right, the giga factory is located in Nevada. I'm sorry I doubted you Elon!
