I had read somewhere that he has a TX Drivers license, I suppose that should have been a hint on his residency. Can you blame him. The State is incredibly accommodating towards Business. Charles Schwab moved it's HQ to Texas recently, GS is moving it's asset management arm here, HP Enterprises moved its HQ to Houston, JPM is expanding their operations, NASDAQ is quietly negotiating a major move to TX, and the list goes on. It's quite the transformation. |

I mean, Musk is opening up a Gigafactory in Germany near Berlin, a place that culturally and regulatory, out-California's California in terms of politics.
People really really want to turn this into an anti-California story and sell conservative politics. I'm sure Musk will enjoy lower taxes, but if you listen to the same interview, he rakes MBAs and bean counters over the coals.
I don't think Musk cares about profits or money as much are libertarians fetishize, he cares about what he can accomplish. He's more concerned with his goals and how much stands in his way, not whether or not he can get a tax cut.
If anything, environmental and labor regulations that slow down his rate of building are more important to him.
How can people listen to the audio of this WSJ interview, where he claims corporate boards, and power points, and financial meetings, are all bullshit and a waste of time. This is a guy who doesn't want to take investor Q&A during earnings calls. He routine tells people not to buy Tesla stock! He tells people people to sell Tesla stock if they don't like his answers to Q&A. He literally gives two fucks about the kind of stuff hyper-libertarians on Seeking Alpha care about. He's also tired of the games, the constant bullshitting and trying to short the stock.
He doesn't care about the money as much as he cares about making cool shit and getting yo' ass to Mars.
