Tesla Stirs California Backlash
Elon Musk says he’s pulling Tesla out of California and relocating to Texas after California has thrown delays up, slowing the reopening of Tesla’s car manufacturing plant in Fremont, Calif. Lorena Gonzalez, a California Democrat, launched some choice words at Elon Musk shortly after he announced he was suing Alameda County in California over their refusal to allow him to reopen his Tesla plant.
She went on to drag the company even as the local mayor announced her support for Tesla and Elon Musk.
Gonzalez, who is a member of the California State Assembly, has a controversial history as the leader behind the AB5 bill, which cost California thousands of jobs. Progressives were particularly angry with Gonzalez over the bill. It resulted in thousands of journalists getting the ax from their companies.
Now as California faces a $54 billion budget deficit, the last thing they need is to lose more jobs but it seems that many on the left are just fine with the economy falling apart and 10,000 jobs moving to Texas and Nevada. Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw tweeted some professional and polite words encouraging the business to come to Texas and I’m sure many unemployed Texans would be excited to get back to work.
