Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted Saturday that the electric car maker is seeking legal action against Alameda County. Musk has criticized shelter-in-place orders in recent weeks.Brendan Smialowski /AFP via Getty Images
Musk tweeted Saturday that the electric auto-maker would"immediately" sue the California county that is home to its main manufacturing plant in the United States. Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.The billionaire CEO also vowed that Tesla would relocate its headquarters and future programs out-of-state.
Who is Elon Musk? Oh, right. He's that guy who got about 5 billion in tax subsidies.
He doesnt have to go in.
It's difficult being a new parent, again, and fucking up his kid's name.
I DONT CARE ABOUT THIS DRIVELING SPOILED BRWT OF A CHILD
Asshole
Yo feel free to move, just don’t want to hear about any government assistance to do so. If Tesla is bold enough to make a threat to move then let it pay for its own relocation
Another reason to never purchase a Tesla
How does this article not mention all the other car manufacturers that are resuming operations? Wouldn’t that help put the car manufacturer’s position in perspective?
The only reason this is happening, to the economy and the environment (YOLO): is specifically because of my_poverty. If my past and future writing is legally, contractually_purchased and strategically_secured (= my enthusiastic understanding). George Washington: Problem will end.

I think Elon should relocate his plant in Italy. See how that works for him.
Hope the door hits him on the way out.
Pretty cocky for a leader of a company that has never made a profit. Beware of the stock market when his stock is very overpriced when compared to other producers.
elonmusk hey ya big baby, sit down and shut up! You can go back to counting your money again soon. Patience, lives are at stake here!
I stand with Elon. Protest them. Sue them. Resist them. The authoritarians are on notice.
TwatWaffle
No one cares about him.
I think it’s funny that all these billionaires complain about having to shelter in their mansions
He’s ego-maniacal. California doesn’t need him.
Come to Texas bro. Everyone is from California
Well I will never buy a Tesla now.
He can eat a dick, honestly.
G U I L L O T I N E
How much money is he losing? Thought he was smarter than this. But money comes first to some people.
Fuck this guy.
cali can maybe tell you to just gtfo
He can go back to his home country of South Africa!!
He should move to Russia or China, they’ll be accommodating & TAKE his business. Just another spoiled brat, whining & having a tantrum, threatening to disrupt & hold hostage his workers & their community. Instead of suing, trying accommodation to keep workers safe. Ask the Union
California has the 5th largest economy in the world. He won’t be missed.
Consider Georgia?
'You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain'.
I used to think California was awesome. Fast times, cool cars and Hollywood. Then I learned it's just Socialism and homeless people shitting in the streets with needles sticking out of their arms.
Dude, don’t let the border hit you in the ego.
He must really want away from that new kid.
It’s so sad to see the falling of a smart guy, but I guess is the result of hanging out with the Kanye West ‘& Kardashian...
Bye bye
He also said there is no place to go for reliable news. That includes NPR. Stop being a Progressive political activists group, and start being journalists. People can not make decisions in the absence of facts, and FakeNewsMedia has been the major contributor We r leaving u
Sorry. But that is ridiculous.
Fuck Elon Musk🙄
Let him sue. What a whiny baby.
musk do you really want to go the sue route every one of your employees can call 1 - 800 hit - slip
I don’t think Texans like electric cars!
Can we stop giving this asshole news coverage
Ya'll come down to El Paso Tx. We can do you right!
We all have crowns. He needs to calm down.
Cray-cray. Bye-Bye!
Maybe he and Bezos can disappear into outer space together.
Another rich jerk.
White Privileged
His motto is there is no i in me.
Go ahead…………… leave California. We won't miss you.
I wouldn’t buy a Tesla if it was the last car in the world. elonmusk usedcarsalesman selfish
Is he going to incur all cost to those who come down with the virus and support the families who fall victim to the disease. What a selfish asshole
Anybody named Elon must be enlightened.
Also, Elon should really work on improving his Tessla products. The few people that I know that own Tesslas have a lot of issues with them! Lastly, pissing off Californians who likely buy more of your vehicles than anyone else is not very savvy business!
Elon is out of his mind. He's seems to always be stirring up issues with his tweets! Gotta wonder if he's got an alcohol issue or some mental stability issues. I hope he gets help. He's a creative guy, but volatile!
Sociopath. Liar.
Use your $ for something helpful & constructive during this pandemic. You sound like a spoiled child. Stomp your feet and poke out your lip😱
He got his way and more in Shanghai after he publicly complained that the Chinese regulated no automobile company could have a majority stake in the country.
Musk should go into meat packing and get ordered back to work so the president can have his hamberderes
Okay. Go away, then shut up. This isn't about you, it's about saving lives.
Elon Musk should be quiet and just practice being a dad for a while
Competitors hurry up already before his head blows up
King 👑
Rich titty babies are the best
He is a bad human being.
If his wife or child were sick I bet he would sing a different tune.
elonmusk could just apply best practices and reopen like the other businesses it would cost less and be so much quicker also the employees not dying bonus but nah
Good. Inform the citizenry, and let adults make adult decisions. That’s what freedom means.
Actually, if you listen to his podcast with Joe Rogan he makes a lot of sense. If we don't go back to work, the supply chain is broken -- even for things like food. That would be very bad and also cause death. All these things are connected. He's not talking about his money.
He can STFU
Judging by his tweets and behavior in the last couple of years, Musk has some mental health issues that don't seem to be terribly well addressed.
I guess Tesla isn’t my dream car after all. Enjoy TX, you nutcase.
Good. How many cuts did NPR make. Right.
Sue the facists
FU Elon
Didn’t realize muskrat was a trumpturd
No one cares. Move away somewhere and bother them with your “inventions.”
This is what Elon Musk is demanding people be able to go back to work to 'make.' Tesla is a products liability class action waiting to happen.
No one gives a shit about Tesla
He needs to just move, no one wants to die so he can line is pockets with money
I believe this is called bluffing. He is throwing a tantrum and I wish CA would just say, please leave! He owns properties and a company there with a lifestyle he is already very used to, I doubt he is going to do anything, but just try to use his voice to manipulate the masses.
Elon- Sue Trump for not providing TestAndTrace plan with enough PPE to protect Healthcare and service industry/essential workers. THAT’S WHY we are sheltering in place!!!!
Honestly, unless elonmuskbaby is an epidemiologist what he says is meaningless in this instance
He just wants “reopening” because he tried a factory with robots and his cars were lemons. He had to hire actual human beings to get them to be buyable, and he never caught on that humans are not robots. Sigh.
Cash flow has stagnated. “I want MY workers back at work in MY factory.”
Look he’s doing “Trump fingers”.
elonmusk = realDonaldTrump
Let him move his plant to the moon, or another planet for all we care.
If he has so much confidence that this virus isnt dangerous , he should take that new baby through a New York hospital.
Get fuck out of CA, go and hug your red necks with no regulation!
Does Tesla have a board of directors? Is anyone looking out for idk, the Company?
Stick with a Prius.
Don't be ruled by spoiled brat tantrums
Elon musk needs to go to his heart now. He has helped humanity in the past
So you are holding 10,000 peoples jobs hostage to your selfish needs . I believe you would pull the rug out from under the hard working employees that made your car what it is . Me, me , me the cry of the down trodden billionaire . Pathetic . I used to respect to respect you
Sounds like he needs a tissue. California is putting the safety of its citizens over his financial bottom line and Elon does not like it. elonmusk smarten up. WE are all in this together. It’s not just about you. WE are only going to get through this if WE remain together.
How much is oil these days elonmusk?
Leave that dumpster fire state. Come GA the waters nice
How to destroy your brand.
tbf he claims to have been given the legal green light by literally every other government with jurisdiction over his factory i can understand his annoyance also california's hype driven politics (local and state both) have bit him multiple times in the past too i don't blame him
Fuck him
Elon, take a free ride on one of your rockets.
Put Elon on a falcon Rocket and aim For Mars.. bye
So many people leaving California because of their unAmerican ways...let’s hope they don’t export the radical liberalism with them to good, red states.
The greedy👹👹👹 are never satisfied or concerned for others!🔔
ElonMusk doesn’t care about his employees—Their health is not his concern.
The workers will pay the price while he continues to shelter in place with access to the best medical care money can buy.
Tesla is notorious for poor working conditions so this is right on brand.
Now I’m sorry we bought one.
Can we shoot him out to space already?
man, this dude needs to either go to bed already, or just go help his girlfriend for a few hours..
At one point I actually admired Elon. Now i would refrain from buying his cars. All this publicity he looks for and his objection to the safety of his employees at this time tells you all u need to know about this guy. I'm done. Will take my money and efforts elsewhere
Elon Musk is nothing more than an Ego Bloated Chaos Creator. With money. And a worshiping horde of ass-lickers.
Come on Elon stop being an asshole
Elon musk needs to go to work on his own then, we see the elite that do not pay taxes wanting their workers to comeback
Good GTFO
Way to be a team player.
I kind of see his point. County’s shouldn’t just be one size fits all. Good leaders work with and communicate clearly with both public AND business leaders.
elonmusk Call me nieve I thought a man of Mr Musk stature could get on the phone w)our Gov & work out a deal 2 get his Co working n a similar form 2 Google, etc. Suing the Gov/Cty & the people of CA who 4 many r sick, dying, scared, worried about daily food? Choose 2 do better.
Dude, just leave. Get the fuck on.
Poor baby. Maybe another facelift would make the boo-boo all better
Stringari181 Take your dirty China connections and get out of here!
Coming from engineering and science I understand the balance between production and worker safety. Elon Musk has proven highly biased and without even the slightest bearing on reality regarding empathetic concern for public health. Proposed a fake 'cure.' Said children immune. ⚠️
He is selfish then!
Fuck him, move to the South
I don’t know how any business can survive in California. It’s a state focused on its self destruction
Hey, you got ratioed: 1.0 at the time of this response (284 replies, 283 likes).
The last paragraph says all I need to know, 'cases continue to climb'. Elon, you're a spoiled brat.
Thank you, Next.
Diva
Somebody give the billionaire a project, like you know, help your fellow man during this crisis. Ugh.
While Magrathea continues to have zero cases of Coronavirus, we do not welcome Elon Musk or any of his companies here now or in the future
Tell him shutup
Get out already annoying privilege baby
That’s what greed does to humans — makes them stupid & selfish!!
BYE! Big oil TX fought against Tesla for so long! TX WOULDN’T even sell tesla cars. elonmusk is threatening to move there🤣. Sad!!!
Elon, take your facilities to Jacksonville, FL.
The only reason he can get away with doing this and putting his workers in danger is because his productor is not a mass consumed product but rather an elite product, which is hard to boycott.
Tesla stock is a roller coaster ride at this point. He needs to stfu and stay home. He should go buy a new house and relax. The rest of us are poor so wtf u complaining
He is a self-destructive guy
Thank God it’s still a free country where CEOs can mover their companies anywhere they like.
We should relocate Musk to Mars.
Insensitive and selfish. Get out of california and take your dang toy cars
Sue away. No one cares. I have lost all respect for this man through out this whole thing. He is only concerned about his pocket book. I am done with him
Move it to the Midwest
He’s correct.
Why it matters-As one of the largest manufacturing employers in California, Tesla stimulated $5.5 billion in sales activity and generated $4.1 billion in direct spending in the state in Fiscal Year 2017 alone. The same year, Tesla also created 51,000 jobs in California!
Standing up against authoritarians is a good thing . As we as a people have destroyed the value of the word hero , elonmusk reminds us of what a true hero is.
Good
Send this mutherfucker to Mars already
go take care of your alien baby and stop whining jfc
Capitalism at its worst!
Lol the only reason he has a company right now is because of the purchases of his cars in California. Which would have never happened without huge subsidies from the Obama White House and California state government.
In my book is a selfish SOB and he can go to hell.
Elon keep your promise and move out of that country. You will do much better in the United States....
Elon is a poor example and a selfish snowflake.
While Magrathea continues to have zero cases of Coronavirus, will do not welcome Elon Musk or any of his companies here now or in the future.
Elon Musk needs to sit down and shut up and follow the rules. tesla
elonmusk wants people to work in unsafe conditions so he can stay rich. Three words for his behavior: greedy sociopathic capitalism
If elonmusk provides science data and health professionals peer reviewed options to back his plan up then - Ok. Until then, he will not be taken seriously!
He's shitty. Next story please.
Why, oh why, is NPR insistent on amplifying views that should be kept marginalized?
Tesla is now making cars in China for the Chinese market He could probably start importing some here to the states Manufacturing I hear is a dirty business Really not the right kind of business we want in California We want clean software & tech But we need more H1B's
I very recently had respect for Spacex man but that is gone. Profit over People does not set well with me.
rich inconsiderate asshole
He’s moving tesla for tax reasons not Corona and its been happening for a while.
What selfishness. The governor is trying to save lives and big bad businessman is more concerned with building wealth.
TimEdwardsZero4 The 1% grows restless
Good. Let california know it’s a privilege that Tesla is there. It would be great to see them move. Can’t wait to see what tax concessions gov newsom comes up to keep them.
Can we please launch him into space and be done with him?
He’s a POS...
Just shut up Elon
Let’s start the migration out of CA! Highest taxed and most overly regulated state in the nation. If not for the nice weather and ocean, CA would be as sparsely populated as Alaska.
Frickin' whack job. Go back to South Africa or wherever it is that you are from.
Fuck him and Trimp.
Should Mr. Elon Musk choose to move his operation out of California and into America, he and all those jobs will be most welcome. Why he was in that third world hellhole in the first place is beyond me.
Elon Musk clearly is stoned cold, he cannot even pronounce name of his newborn baby.
How much taxpayer money did Musk receive from local, state, & federal governments to open his manufacturing plant in California?
“County” 🥴❔
Bro has lost his gord.
ScaraPalin He’s truly a pos
Everyone needs to keep in mind that the goal here isn't to eliminate the disease, it's to keep it manageable and not overwhelm the healthcare system. New cases have been flat, healthcare can handle it, so it's time to start talking about what a reopening looks like.
Texan here. We don’t want him.
Who else would like Musk yo STFU?
I feel bad for his son
Wow, I really do not like this guy. I had a vague notion he was an innovator. He’s just another corporate eggplant emoji.
This unstable billionaire should set an example and go inside a factory himself during a global pandemic! Disgusting how he thinks he’s above the law and blatant disregard for workers protections inside factories. Must be postpartum depression.
Because making cars is essential? Or because his PROFIT is essential?
Lol.
Fuck elonmusk
I thought this guy was cool now he sucks
There is plenty of space in Oklahoma for a factory elonmusk!
All business should leave CA. The people would probably try and follow and vote the same BS back into office.
He's
We don’t care. He is gonna stay at home anyway
Because fuck health, money is far more important.
He’s a buffoon
White privilege at its finest.
elonmusk Here's you hat, what's your hurry Bye !
He’s lost his mind. Howard Hughes style.
It’s very easy to put people off your brand isn’t it
He is pissed at CA for having stronger labor laws. Get ready TX or NV for 80+ hr work wks. Most of his employees only last a 1-2 yrs at the company before they quit from exhaustion.
The vast majority of responses I’ve seen about this have not been worried about the company leaving. Found that surprising but says a lot about how people feel about Musk.
If he does move, I hope California is able to get back all of its tax incentives I am positive they got.
He needs to be on a ventilator..to be so sick that he will praise CA.. For their status on shelter in place..
Leave CA then.
California put his cars on the map he should be grateful, he certainly has the finances to survive long term without income. He should be paying his people and just enjoy one of his dozens of mansions
he must be losing money, which obviously gives you a window into his value system
Just stop, Elon. They provide the infrastructure and talent that makes your company possible. That comes with conditions. Deal with it.
Tesla was a genius YOU SIR ARE JUST SOME JERK PARADING AROUND PIMPING THE MAN'S NAME OUT! HE WOULDN'T LET YOU WITHIN 100 FEET OF HIM WERE HE ALIVE TODAY!
For someone who receives BILLIONS of tax credits and subsidies from the people, you sure love to complain when the government shifts to protecting their interests, instead of money.
Sue them!
He will sell all his possessions, he will move his company and now he will sue. There is a deeper more profound reason that he is not telling the world. Is he a rich-broke billionaire?
I’m starting to like this guy less and less.
Egomaniac
I’m a huge Tesla fan (and owner) but I’m ok with someone else taking over-now, he’s just a figurehead and many people could do a better job at the helm-remember, others came up with the original roadster and teams have designed and built subsequent cars-he’s not irreplaceable
“Stable geniuses” are going to kill us all.
Mask behaves like trumpy ! Sue, sue, sue, you do have that right, but it seems you don’t care your employee’s well being at all !
Good luck with that... money over lives... great marketing strategy for your product.
He’s off his meds, the tweets are getting stranger, he named his kid as a math problem... I seriously wonder what’s going on with him?
Deport this fuck
Klandemic
F**k you, Elon.
He’s turned into NOT who I thought he was. So disappointed. He’s just as corrupt and greedy as the rest of them.
Ok. So less than 40 miles from my home is the JB Swift meat plant in Greeley, CO .. 287 cases and 7 deaths. Its real. It happened.
I'm sure the state of Utah would be happy to welcome elonmusk's businesses.
fuckelonmusk
Bold strategy to attack the government who provides hundreds of millions in subsidies cotton
Profit Workers' health. Nice to see where he stands.
Hell ya
over time i have come to realize that Elon isn't nearly as intelligent as the people he employs.
BOYCOTT!!!!
He may loose good honest clever people and may surround with crooked morons in the future. That will be deadly for Tesla.
If and when we get out of this companies to boycott for their lack of respect and concern for safety for their employees; Tesla, Tyson, Smithfield, AMAZON, add the ones I missed...
calling it 'the final straw.' read 'the final joint.'
Guess Trump doesn't feel so lonely now that there is another ignorant twit in the world.
A white South African Male using the ole White Power hand signal.....Surprise, surprise.
California is right; Elon Musk is wrong.
Everyone suing the state right now is just selfish
A billionaire egomaniac genius will have his hissy fits.
I wish he had used his money for inventing the vaccine or purchasing PPE for the healthcare workers.
I will never buy a tesla! Couldn't anyway but still
Who cares. I'm realizing how much of a nut job this guy really is.
Every South African man I know went batty as they got older, what are they holding on to so tightly?
Who’s going to be buying Tesla’s right now any way? We are the verge of a huge Recession. He needs to calm down, let this virus calm down and not endanger the lives of his workers. He’s very wealthy, use those deep pockets to pay workers during this health crises.
Elon Musk is nothing more than a Gates, Jobs, Bezos, Woz, etc...wanna be! Get over yourself, Musk!
Texas? Nevada? I think you meant China.
He's such an entitled narcissist; a commonality amongst trumpturds it would seem - especially the trumpturd in chief.
Then get out !
Taxpayers built Tesla
GOOD for Elon. Move Tesla HQ out of Commiefornia ASAP. The perma-shutdown is a farce. It’s time for America to go back to work.
Maybe Elon should stop whining and start protecting his workers? Who does he think is chomping to buy Teslas in this new global reality? Or even drive?
Musk and Trump share the same illness ... they both like to here themselves talk, it inflates their egos.
Lol oh my god. Pipe it Elon, it’s Sunday.
After that big, revolutionary, futuristic hole he dug out there I think I'll believe he's moving when I see more that concept art ...or a tweet.
Tesla should probably ditch him, regardless of what state they work out of. Hard to imagine where they could have gone by now, without his flighty, grandiose judgement on every issue.
Ok Mr Smart. The chance of losing your great inventors is about 6 in 100 positive detected cases. Would you take these odds and loose your edge? The lottery does have these type of high odds of “winning”!
He's going to go 100% automated factories in a few years anyway so not many jobs lost if he gets lost. Not sure how he's trying to use JOBS as leverage.
Unless he brings his talent with him, texas doesn't have the brainpower. Unless they're foreigners.
I used to like this guy and want a Tesla but now I just see him as some asshole who mansplains his bullshit baby name to the poor mother of his child. Naming a baby that is straight up abuse.
What's the saying? When they show you who they are, believe them?
Just think. The best thing that elonmusk ever did in his whole life was launch his car into space.
Is grimes being held prisoner? Grimes if you need help please send us a message in your next single
There is no evidence sheltering in your home is the best reaction to virus. In New York, 2 out of 3 people infected were infected at their home they were forced to stay in. Data should be driving policy. Elon is a Data guy and his position will age well. The panic has killed.
Goodness. Elon seems to be having some issues. What ridiculously irresponsible behaviour.
Go away Elon! There is a pandemic, why don’t you help?
I'd like to hear the lawyer's argument on this one.
I have gone from admiring this man's ideas on space & renewables to a deep disappointment in the man himself
This comes after Musk himself tanked his stock YET again, so now it’s time to get his workers back to making HIM and his stockholders $$ at considerable risk to their lives! So over this immature so-called genius...
CA has purchased more Teslas than any other state due to its EV regulations. Musk is biting the hand that feeds him.
Bond villain in the making
The way you carry water for the stupidest slice of our current politics is deeply disappointing. IMHO, has traditionally been one of the least worst news outlets but it looks like you want to constantly center the feelings of dumb conservatives like this guy. : |
He is a nut case. Pure and simple.
Maybe you'd be better off back in South Africa.
He can go right ahead and spend another ridiculous amount money on moving the HQ of a company that makes no profit.
He was under the influence of DRUGS..
Has any of the sheep on here considered that maybe his employees want to go back to work?
JohnAStewart7 elonmusk is a younger version of realDonaldTrump Two peas in a psychopathic pod Sociopaths
elonmusk for Governor of California please.
This is like two rich guys arguing over the penthouse suite. For gods sake can rich people and government chill out?!?! Y’all the ones with the money. What’s your problem?
Oh sit down elonmusk It's a pandemic. We're trying to keep people safe and alive
Thank you Dr. Killthenameless
Elon has been consistently wrong about predicting the number of deaths from Covid. Maybe he is just using the wrong model?
If he doesn't like the shelter in place order, he can hop in one of his spacecraft and go back to his home planet.
Sorry I'm staying home Somethings are more important than cars
And he huffed and he puffed the final straw.
Elon is a PR machine, anything for publicity We are Still waiting for the Ventilators he promised Maybe he should move to Mars where there is no tax
The factory can move. He can get the hell out. It was a car factory before he took it over and it can be a factory for something else or a new use altogether after. We do not need Tesla in California.
Can elonmusk just go away, though?
Greed knows no honor.
It’s so disappointing when you find out that someone you’ve admired because of their accomplishments turns out to be a total a$$ hole piece of sht human being. 😕
Thanks for helping me solidify my decision not to buy or invest in Tesla in the future. Excited to see what our engineers from other automakers will do to help our planet
I want to put you at risk and then have you lose your job. I'm a genius!
Buh bye
FcukYourFeeling While showing us triple 6 sign. He is a double agent!
This guy is a dick. Plain and simple.
Awwww... Poor Elon. Maybe we should all send him some
Why are you covering this twit?
That’s a paper straw right?
Ooh look another rich elite- telling us American workers to rush back so we can keep him in the life style he’s grown accustomed to! Guess what fuck you!! I’m staying home!
No one cares. The press should stop reporting nonsense from this nut. The country has bigger issues. If he wants to sue then go do it and shut up
Can someone get this guy some help? Obviously, he needs medication.
When clueless bureaucrats take people's livelihoods because they know what it's best for others. How long before we have food riots?
Don’t leave mad, just leave.
He is such a colossal jag-off.
He’s immature, like chill dude.. 18th is coming up.
Proof he’s the same as Trump. If you don’t do things my way then I’m going to cause harm to innocent people who work for me. The world should spend a little more time boycotting elonmusk
he should we need some case law on these orders
🤦♂️
Good by! Please take all of your mess with you.
fuck this whiny little bitch and stop wasting your ink on him.
How else will the Ayn Rand Driving Club of America get new vehicles if Tesla isn't allowed to reopen?
This man seems on the verge and dangerous.
I’ve lost all admiration I once had for elonmusk. I no longer want a Tesla. Plus I’ve heard they are a pain in the arse to get serviced. COVIDIOT
Bye bye!
So much for his tweet about picking science over all.
Little Baby :)
A fine upstanding example of money over people.
Not a good time to be how you are being, Elon. People are struggling. Keep your ego in check and just be helpful instead.
Don't let the autopilot hit you in the back. Or, you know, the bystander next to you's back.
Bye
Toodles
Bye Felicia
Do it elon, we don't need you. There are so many EV manufacturers that don't bust unions and kill their employees with a virus.
This company is shopping for tax benefits so of course he wants to move to NV. NV gives this company a free ride. California makes these companies pay their fair share.
Take that silly looking truck with you.
I’m sure he’ll ask for tons of tax breaks while doing it
byefelicia
To a state where corporations are more important than American lives.
I think Elon Musk needs to go home and focus on being a dad for a year or two....
Jerk!!!! He can’t even pronounce his child’s name!!!
mcharlesworth7 He will be begging to come back, let him go.
Go for it
Let’s stop giving this guy air time.
These CEOs practices are modern day colonization practices... they pick a region in the US, extract unimaginable public benefits and then their greed overtakes and it hurts the communities that welcomed them.
Good call Elon. Good weather and beaches aren’t everything.
We love Teslas in New Hampshire! (just saying...)
Come to Mississippi! elonmusk cheap land and loose regulations...and even looser politicians!
Good! See ya!🤫
Musk is a jackass.
Bye
The difference between Mellon, Ford, Carnegie, Rockefeller, and these current robber barrons is their commitment to the community. The current practice of capitalism has a heavy dose of selfishness.
elonmusk I bet you won't 🙄
Putrid buissness man!
Elon Musk is the new John McAfee
Welp. I used to dream of owning a Tesla, but not anymore. Now it pisses me off that he’s using Nikola’s name at all.
Another rich putz.
Elon honey take your meds and calm tf down
I’m reminded of the Uber and Lyft issues in Austin. Big business not wanting to meet needed regulations. We voted them out GregAbbott_TX overruled our vote. elonmusk is probably right that Texas will welcome another business over people company.
He was such a hero now he’s a fuckbag
Future headline: new Telsa headquarters becomes Coronavirus hotspot, CEO Elon Musk said he would relocate to Mars.
considering they also turn off super charging on cars repaired by the customer now Tesla can eat shit.
So the 21st Century will be about America destroying itself from within as foretold by Mr Kruschev. Chess, not checkers.
Cool. Good riddance.
It's just another welfare queen complaining!
Perhaps Uranus would be a fit...
pretty ironic that hes siding against the science, when his entire sales pitch is based on green technology.
Wow he’s stupid to think that it’s California’s fault for the pandemic
Move that shit to Mexico. Fuck it. They'll appreciate the economic boost. elonmusk
OUT OF THE COUNTRY WOULD BE PREFERRED elonmusk Tesla
Later. Fix the steering wheels on your Johnny Cab automobiles while your at it.
Well, if he moves to a different state, he’ll be paying his employees less. Bold move Elon 🙄
Bye Felicia👋🏼! ❤️ California
If he were Latino or middle eastern They would tell him go back home to Africa. He is South African.
Arizona right now.
👍👋
This unstable neurotic billionaire should set an example and go inside a factory himself during a freakin global pandemic! Disgusting how he thinks he’s above the law and has no regard for workers protections! Must be going thru postpartum depression!
Oklahoma
Screw him and his tantrums. He was probably thinking of it anyway.
Tesla should move to NV. To many power hungry politicians in Ca with bad data, no data and don’t know how to use data!
I bet CA is Tesla’s biggest market - how will customers react if he moves?
Why should we care? Why should California cate? What difference in the bigger picture does this make? What is the bigger picture? His rendering? There are far more talented, compassionate, empathetic, broader, smarter, etc. people who deserve our attention.
Bye, you man baby.
More unemployment in California. Thanks elonmusk.
Nice guy...
Why doesn’t he just return to South Africa? He’s a complete lunatic.
I’m sick of Elon Musk and his weird kid name
Good riddance!
GavinNewsom will start to care when elonmusk moves the tax base away from commifornia. All you libtards and treehuggers can say what you will but thank God Elon has the sense and resources to GTFO of CA. CNBC FoxNews CNN
kristinsullivan More of that coming.
elonmusk is going to punish his employees because he doesn't like the guidelines set out by state officials?
elonmusk, you're free to leave. You don't just waltz In and threat the people who don't want to compromise the public's safety. How low can you go?
I will donate my stimulus to help him move
White rich men and their temper tantrums over not getting their way. ElonMusk
Bye, Felicia
I don't really care, do you? Histrionics. He needs nearby ports for supplies and exports.
Ba bye
Pack your shit and go. How dare this company blackmail state government
No question Musk is brilliant. However brilliance does not override your obligations to society as a whole
Good call Elon. Good weather and beaches isn’t everything.
Bye Felicia
Please do it. Put a stop to their craziness.
Buh bye!!!! 👋🏽
Infantile response to the worst pandemic since the Spanish Flu. Maturity has never been his strength.
I hear Detroit is open, guns blazing apparently.
Wow, what a childlike response. Hopefully CA residents will buy other EVs over his.
Go for it
Fuck Elon taxpayers paid for Tesla
Hey 'E,' go take a long walk off a short pier.
elonmusk I heard it’s nice in Montana
WHY WOULDNT HE WANT TO SHELTER IN PLACE, HE GETS TO FUCK GRIMES ALL DAY …. OHHH YEA DATS RIGHT, THEY JUST HAD A KID AND HE NEEDS TO LEAVE …. ELON DONT NEED TO STAY ON THIS PLANET, HE GOT THAT ROCKET, HE CAN GO TO MARS !!! RIGHT ?!
Will he pay back tax payers for the subsidies that line his pockets before he goes?
Do it! We left for Texas last year. The air is a lot “freer” over here!
Can we all just agree that just because he's brilliant doesn't negate the fact the he's a megalomaniacal narcissist.
I will never buy a Tesla after his bs.
Great, bye 👋🏻
California is the antithesis for businesses to thrive and prosper.
Bye!
How long til the Tesla board removes him? What a maroooon!
This guy is and has been a complete tool for the longest time. Glad to see everyone else is finally realizing it.
Electric or eccentric? If there are a few concerns, Elon may look at working out of an alternate site for the moment. This is an unprecedented crisis & needs a concerted effort. He should be happy that his potential customers are being saved by CAgovernor. More power!!!
California doesn't need forward thinkers, movers and shakers in the business world, it needs mindless, needle addicts to do its bidding. bwhaha
👏👏👏
Big 'I'm taking my toys and going home' energy
Look at all these partisan idiots who hate Elon because they are partisan and take everything partisan news media says about him at face value.
Anyone get the strong feeling his wife left him for a very good reason?
Elon musk promises ventilators to NY sends dodgy Cpap machines instead
Awesome! There is no voice of reason in the government. I hope he makes them pay dearly!
Exciting news
That's a huge move. Needs to build a factory or find one to retool.
elontuskwouldnever tuskla
Oh no Karen don’t!
elonmusk NO ONE CARES
I drive a Hyundai Ioniq... amazing car, ranked the most environmentally friendly car ever made, gets amazing mileage, comes in a PHEV as well as all-electric, and starts way cheaper than the cheapest Tesla. Just saying. 🙂
This guy...
Please don't come to Colorado. We don't want you here if you care more about money than you do lives. elonmusk
Out of communist California. Just the beginning....
Petulant child.
WeLL TeLL HiM To TaKe HiS Azz On WHeReVeR He’S GoinG!!
I'm a truck driver but I'd quit my job and help you build pickups in Texas.
Good riddance
Question is, which state will take his sorry ass company? Literally, everything Tesla makes sucks.
There goes a crapload of jobs and tax revenue.
Bye Felicia
Say goodbye to their biggest market in the US.
Don’t pick Hellinois, elonmusk. It’s just as bad. Shit business climate, shit governor, shit economic future.
Pretty sure he can afford to - Go for it
Georgia welcomes Tesla.
Just leave!
Alternate Headline: Musk is a Dick. Again.
Oil is cheaper than water ...
I guess in the future those states won't have COVID19
Whatever. Let’s hope Elon gets the help he needs.
When even the brilliant innovators are idiots, we’re screwed.
Leave our country then!
That would be wise.
*Capitalist gets mad because capitalism is failing*
Musk does some cool stuff that the world needs, I just wish he wasn’t such a turd.
Good ridden
Well ridden!
Who is he kidding? He’s been planning to leave Cali for quite sometime. He is just using the Stay-at-Home order as an excuse to hide the fact that his company is in financial trouble.
Mars?
Haha, we'll see about that
Will he also live there? Or will he maintain his CA residence?
Love it. Elon is woke. Media spreading fear is a joke
He's done slipped off that fine line between genius into bat shit crazy
Uh .. you forgot to say Texas asswipe NPR ! Texas !
Freedom is most important
States with suffocating laws and regulations are now exposed. If Nevada or Texas offer a more promising future then good for them
He and his employees can get sick and possibly die. It’s sad but if he is going to endanger himself, family, and his employees and their families I can do nothing.
Make all these companies pay back all the taxes they haven’t had to pay if they can’t seem to follow the health closure requirements.
whatever Elon
Funny. All the libs bought the product in cali but blast him. So dont buy the product. Business needs to reopen and safely. If i was him i would leave. Cali is not friends to business. Newsom and Pelosi are far removed from jobs.
Buh bye.
Laterz
Good riddance, I will never buy a Tesla. Mr. Musk another Wall Street and Corporate bully. elonmusk Tesla teslaownersSV
Don't care. Will never buy one of his cars even if I could afford one.
He’s never really been big on safety. At least at his Tesla plants.
Try Guam. That should fit your rain.
Narcissist
I’m glad his true self has been exposed over the last weeks. Just another rich white man driven by hubris.
It's a shame for us that we'll be losing the tax revenue. It's a bigger shame for him that he'll sell very few cars in the future in California, which is probably where a substantial part of where likely Tesla buyers were located.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. No Big Loss
Bye
This guy is always all talk and no action. All the things “he’s gonna do”. Build rockets. Find vaccines. Build warp speed trains. Blah blah blah. He sounds just like Johnny the BS-er in 4th grade.
Very smart move. Conservative states are way better.
Elon Musk for President.
elonmusk YES! CA is sh*t anyway.
No one needs u raising the rent on Californians
This guy has been out of control for the last year..
Go gault you government funded child. We don't need you
Girl bye
Give that kid a real name elonmusk don’t be a dik
We're really finding out who the babies are. Patience is virtue.
This guy is unhinged. Risky purchase.
The illegal drug trade into California has been disrupted due to the pandemic. Perhaps he needs to move to a place where his 'energy supply' is more readily accessible.
The fuck?
Why is Elon Musk acting like COVIDIOT consequences of infected highly skilled workers could be disruptive than waiting a bit for COVID19 experts directives
Come to Texas Elon, we don’t punish the rich, just leave all your alt-left crew out west.
Hey come to southwest Colorado and have the bonus plan of life.
Die young and be a hero, grow old and watch yourself become a villain.
elonmusk come to Arizona
Man-baby
Who cares? We have real issues in this country. Really, who the hell cares
See it's all about money & power, not life. Even as the numbers rise again because social distancing is not being practiced & many are being forced back to work under unsafe conditions.
Bye! Governor is trying to keep as many ppl safe as possible, not cater to your elitist whims. 🚀 👋
Get fucked, rocket boy.
elonmusk is a petty man baby
🤷♂️
So Elon Musk is an asshole. Huh, who knew?
Elon Musk is a douche..he just wants more money while his workers can just die..
America needs to stop buying Teslas.
Well, elonmusk you answered the question as to my next vehicle purchase. Definitely NOT a Tesla, thanks to the wack-job CEO that cares more about profit than people.
ElonMusk come to Savannah. Large port, rails and highways built for Tesla logistics. Call me. 🏎🚢🛩🚁🚘🚘🚗🚛🚚
State leaders dont need to be ridden by spoiled, temperamental business babies who ignorantly think they know better than the reliable judgements made for all Americans.
So he's choosing the lunatic fringe side? And how many Tesla cars per year do you think they buy?
Bye
I thought he couldn't even sell his cars in Texas, an oil state. I guess things have changed. Musk sure a whiny man. He seems to be less and less appealing the more and more he talks, whines, bitches, etc. I guess money makes real men into weak whiners.
Peace!
He’s been sounding like a miniTrump lately. It’s a damn shame because SpaceX is strategically important and you’d like a sane person helming it. Tesla can go wherever, though. There are now great electric cars from other reliable manufacturers to choose from if it comes to it.
He’s making the good old White Power sign.
Good riddance.
Don’t come to Texas. We have more than our share of bad employers (a**h***s) now. Give us a break
Frankly Elon, your factory is useless if your employees test positive for Covid19. Hundreds and hundreds at a time. Like meat packing plants. chillout. maskup.Protect your staff. They are your biggest asset.
Bluffing
He's broke and desperate
Even great creative minds can be a**holes.
I don't Blame Elon Musk, California is Rusting on the Vine.
!st World, rich-people problems. Go whine somewhere else. Self-indulgent, self-important whining snowflake.
Moving to Nevada or Texas IS the first step in getting humanity to Mars. SpaceX
No intelligent person would base their business in Commiefornia. The state is descending into a hellscape.
Rich bullies can never read the room.
Why isn't self-driving car an essential industry in a pandemic world?
Elon’s new invention: Money 💰 human lives
Yes, use the meat plant model. That seems to be working well.
Just canceled my Tesla
lol
Billionaire throws tantrum, 10's of thousands of workers lose their jobs.
Move the damn hq to the White House
California loses another one. Way to go, GavinNewsom. Your tyrannical impulses are on vulgar display. Not a good look for you or our beautiful state.
Elon Musk just isn't all there. He tripped on an electrical cable at work and something fell out of one of his ears. Poor guy...
Go back to Africa.
How about out of country
Boy what a snob. I have been keenly following each iteration of the models and the technology. Hungry to buy the model y. But Elon is pushing me out with each thing he says.
Fuckin guy.
Elon cares about Elon. He’s Howard Hughes. His money, his investors money. If his rants focused on ensuring his employees get back to work, not on his ability to build & sell cars, maximize profits & stock price, then minimally we’d know his frustrations are in the right place
Elon jumped the shark. And I was an ElonBro until recently. Boot him out.
Is he going to Mars?
I expected better from elonmusk than this. Far better. Guess he's no different after all. All about the $
Yes, Elon always sound of mind. Never one for publicity stunts 🙄🙄
He is just looking for an excuse
I wonder - granted the circus of having cities dance on Amazon's strings a fee years back, and given the IF that govt ought to prevent that sort of thing - what policy could possibly assuage the circus, without hurting small businesses' ability to operate out of state?
Good riddance
This seems more like a bizarre excuse to ship out to a cheaper state to save money on taxes, rather than an actual explanation of his decision to leave.
One thing to keep in mind, nobody is driving Tesla in Texas! This could hurt them. Most of their sales are in California and suing the state might make people find another car!
Bye, Felicia
No Tesla for me....
TamaraRoark I can hear your idiotic UpTalk in tweets. Stop it!
He's so dumb. Perfect example of a billionaire who's great at one thing thinking he knows everything about everything.
Don’t make me sell the best car ever. Get it together elonmusk 🚙⚡️
The Dakotas are wide open...
Good riddance Elon. California is full of other wealthy business owners who are doing the right thing.
Be smart California and make sure that Elon Musk leaves your state. It’s obvious he thinks more of material things than he does life.
Good for him
👋🏼
Elon Musk can kiss my AX-R71£~\\
Tell Musk to STFU & make the ventilators he promised.
then do it. Stop talking about it.
I need to sue Musk to stop embarrassing the Tesla family name.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Tesla is a very overrated brand which will be crushed as soon as other car manufacturers start mass production of electric vehicles!
If you value money over human life? Bye.👋
First he is manic, as evidenced by tweets taking tesla stock. Second, this is a bluff. The factor in Texas does not make same cars as in California and given the production issues in Tesla’s past, this seems like an unlikely move, at least in the short term
Bye Felicia
👍👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
It intrigues me when smart people are also so dumb.
It should be mentioned that they plan on moving to Texas in the headline. Liberals have done such a horrible job with the state of California that the number one exporter in the state (Tesla) is forced to leave. Take this as a hint, flip the state red or 3rd party. DNC fails.
Maybe try Mars. I hear everything is open there.
I could care less what he says or does. I wish his chatter would go away. I wish media would stop reporting on HIM. Report on his business as part of Business news but not HIM. 🤯
😂 elonmusk you’re taking the ball away during recess. Not a good look.
Public health visionary.
Byelon
Musk chooses to bully instead of comply with criteria. Headline should be: TESLA operations unable to resume due to Musk not complying to criteria
Stadium countdown for the Donald 80,000 dead AMERICANS New milestone ( Notre Dame Stadium Indiana ) Keep'em coming Donald
I'm no fan of a guy who shoots a car into space but I no longer trust NPR to tell the truth re COVID-related news. Maybe he is OK w/ back to work BECAUSE he knows early-treatment Zelenko Protocol &/or Ivermectin change EVERYTHING, while u prefer to scare folk w/ red herrings.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.... Commute on i880 just got 25% shorter! Oh... invent a front license plate for your cookie cutter pinewood derby knock offs.
Go for it dude
Moving to Texas 💥
NV is almost completely blue Elon so just head to TX and don't let the door hit your... on the way out.
ELON MUSK IS HAVING A TEMPER TANTRUM
