    Because schools cannot forcibly out students to their parents SpaceX is now incapable of working there? Seems like there’s something else going on.

      He has a BS cult of personality like trump. And has learned he can distract from his real scandals by causing an overload of stupid shenanigans. That will capture the media focus. And keep it from where it should be.

        In the UK we call it a dead cat strategy.

        There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, ‘Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!’ In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.[1]

      Bullshit.

      He just threw down big support for trump, he knows trump cant win CA so this could be a ploy to help him in TX.

      https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/elon-musk-goes-all-in-on-donald-trump/ar-BB1q5TOi

      Additionally, musks good friend Ken Griffin of Citadel Securities alongside Blackrock are opening a rival to NYSE in (you guessed it) Texas. Whether or not its related, idk.

        Believe me when I say that it is not to help Trump win Texas. I’ve lived here for over 40 years, and for the last 25, I have kept hearing how this is a “purple state” and “it’s gonna be a swing state soon”.

        It’s not.

        It’s not, it never has been, it never will be, and it’s never been worse here. Which is why I’m leaving this hellhole once and for all next week with my cat, and I ain’t never looking back.

      Nope, I think Elon is really onto something. Woke schools means we can’t go to space anymore!

    Remember when Elon moved Tesla Engineering to Texas, then moved it back to California since he couldn’t get enough people to work in Texas?

    Tesla Will Move Its Headquarters to Austin, Texas, in Blow to California - Oct, 2021

    Tesla Shifts Its Engineering Headquarters Back To California - Feb. 2023

    The kind of decision making others feel worthy of an over 50 billion pay package.

    Fuck Elon, and fuck the board too. Never buying one with him involved.

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

      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.
