New York Silicon Valley has been the epicenter of the tech industry for decades, starting in 1938 when Bill Hewlett and David Packard started tinkering in a Palo Alto garage.
But that may be changing. Perhaps the most striking evidence of that: A descendant of the company they founded, Hewlett Packard Enterprise , will move its headquarters to Texas. On Friday, another longtime Silicon Valley stalwart, Oracle , announced plans to join them, saying it will relocate its headquarters to Austin.
In California, you'd have to make 11 thousand bathrooms for every gender, in Texas, you can get away with just two. I guess that's why musk moved to Texas. Yeehaw
It'll always be, Texas is an empty land and there's nothing to do but drink beer and ride bulls. There's nothing to see there..go move there..you'll miss food, people and weather...they only have steak and humid weather..oh and hurricanes for a month.
Turn California's water off until they clean house
I wouldn't give you $1 I don't think you work for American people you work for your pocketbook and theirs you steal from the poor and middle.
Around 2000 businesses have left California in two years. Around 15,000 since Obama's term started. This doesn't account for the businesses that just closed their doors. And the names just keep getting bigger and bigger with Oracle, HP, and Telsa. Keep being native though.
Eon musk an extra ordinary intellect has made extremely sound decision in moving to Texas. Professor Isagholian
Good riddance!
Dem.wants to conquer tx with tech immigrants.
Good for you Elon. In Gavins world, California is becoming horrible for business again and only Trump was able to help a little. No longer.
Few years down the road California will become a welfare state filled with drug addicts and criminals thanks to libtards in power.
Because Left wing politicians are destroying California.
He’s all yours Texas.

Why are so many celebs and big companies moving to Texas, Wyoming, or Montana? I feel like there's been a note passed around in class and someone skipped me. 😂😒
That’s because Democrats have destroyed the state same thing is happening at Wall Street in NY
Apple will never move out of that state after that huge capital project investment they just made
Good luck
cmarinucci For god sake let’s send Texas Zuck.
Texas may be leaving the US too - sad but true, they have had enough
I'm sorry for all Texans, soon you're going to have a lot of freaks living among you
Texas., gag me!
Its all about taxes..
Here we go it is starting California is giong to pay for Democratic run state and extreme liberal ways.
Also the epicenter of CCP
Hey Elon Voted Trump 2020
Seattle Portland Bay Area LA The rats are fleeing Ruined the best stretch of land on the globe
cmarinucci Silicon Valley was here long before Elon Musk came along and will be here after
Good for Texas. California is the greatest state in the US but the fires, the taxes, the homeless, the government waste , greed, mismanagement and negligence make it very frustrating to stay.
Could the last person leaving California please turn out the lights?
I remember San Jose when it was full of orchards. Less population in the Bay area isn't necessarily a bad thing. I wonder what's going to happen to Austin's housing prices.
MAGAts think us Liberals are upset about Californians moving to Texas. What they don’t realize is that is how Texas becomes more purple.
when cities failed to control inflation this happens....... and its good...... people moves that brings stability in prices....... and life becomes liveable.......
While interesting, can't wait for the next Musk here in Silicon Valley. He is further along, but not that different.
😂Dems have all the answers, yet them & everyone else, are fleeing their cities & states🤔
THE OLDER KIDS CANT PLAY HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL FOREVER.. ITS TIME TO ALLOW YOUNGER GENIUSES HUMBLE INTO THESE SPACES THEY HELP CREATE
GOOD LEAVE THAT SITE FOR ME.. I CAN USE A GOOD AEROSPACE CENTER
Follow me for more fun facts
Don't think it'll change. Where the tech company is are important, not for tax cut.
They are about to make the cost of living in Texas skyrocket.
What it means for Oracle and Tesla moving to Texas and relocating all their employees, Texas will definitely be blue before the next Presidential election. Smart people can see right thru the hypocrisy of Republicans.
Kate_Chase good luck, Texas! 😂😂😂😂
Taxes taxes taxes… These rich people don’t wanna pay more taxes than they already do and I don’t blame them.
Its not. That region is full of some of the top universities on the planet. Electric cars, cool, lets work on artificial inteligence.
This will probably cause the housing to skyrocket now 🥴
elonmusk Used CA as a piggy bank to get all his projects off the ground where no other state would. Now he & Ellison/Oracle are leaving for Texas. Lets see how welcoming they are.
If one of the richest people in the world relocates, citing high personal taxation as a driving force, it suggests the individual has some serious character flaws.
Is Texas ready for their cost of living to go up and their streets filled with 12 dollar a cup coffee shops and vegan restaurants. Look what happened to waco
From texas here 👋🏻 Stop romanticizing texas this is a republican run state and as long as you keep your corrupt politician happy $$$$ you can ensure they have your back... that and no tax income and zero to none employee protection Musk will be moving to exploitation heaven
Elon can go anywhere he wants but should keeps the money he earns in this country invested locally.
It’s just the start! In a few years, California will have no billionaires. Lol
They should have worked together to keep Oracle
Yes ! it's changing quickly Silicon valley's tech reputation . Rise & fall . Elon Musk is moving Texas . Because Texas Governor made it sure State is safe living - with rules & regulations . There is reduce Crime marathon going on in Texas .
Musk couldn't be farther from the symbol or leader of the Silicon Valley. He's more a lone ranger and needs factory workers in Texas.
He'll be transferring planets soon.
Please don't overlook these sings
It’s a blue wave comin’ and it’s just around the bend
Yeah !!! why be in a state that has locked down to protect its citizens.
Helen504 Cool. That move won't help with deferral taxes when SenWarren gets ahold of the tax code.
He is going there to skip state income taxes!
Good. I'm happy to see someone who creates wealth take it away from a system that despises it.
He gives off major creepster vibes.
And Texas is considering secession?
I've lived in the valley since 69. Watched chips develop here and be manufactured here. that all moved away in the 80's or so for costs reasons. Then we had the Web boom in the late 90's. A lot of vapor ware. The rest of the world has grown up.
Californians need to stop coming to Austin. As a native Austinite, i can't even afford to live in the city i was born in. Get this cali shit out of here.
His next step will be to leave the country for cheaper options.
What will he do when Texas secedes from the union?
He's just one. Second, Google and Apple have a hayuge campus in silicon valley, and Amazon ain't leavin Seattle anytime soon. It would be easier to move HQ to a country with strong currency, use Asian labor, then sell to U.S. for high price. You'll make more than a tax cut.
we don’t want him.
Love to have you here sir. You’re moving for a great reason. Just please leave the CA in CA.
Cause: look in the mirror CNN 🖕🏿 We watch and cry as California dies.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. ✌️
Yeah cuz no one wants to pay the high taxes is California so they are getting the fuck out.
😅😆😂🤣😅😆😂🤣😅😆😂🤣
Silicon Valley is going to sink and so many tech corporations are going to leave for Texas
California is beautiful. It’s also one of the worst run states. Texas, for its faults, is very business and tax friendly. The Calif view doesn’t pay the bills.
Bad career move, when you move into a different environment, you lose something tangible
Wait til Texas secedes and becomes its own country, North Mexico.
yeah because of the democrats
Good! Just hope they leave their horrendous ideology behind and don't plague the great state of Texas!
🚀
Who wants their bills paid?
