Tesla engineering HQ leaving Texas to return to California, Musk announces

[Scott]

Elon Musk announced during a joint press conference with California Gov. Gavin Newsom that Tesla would be returning its global engineering headquarters to California, two years after a dramatic exit that saw the electric car company leave the Golden State for a facility in Austin, Texas.

 

 

Tesla will open up shop in the former home of Hewlett Packard in Palo Alto, Musk said. The facility will serve as the company’s engineering headquarters while the corporate headquarters remains in Austin.

 

The move returns Tesla to the world’s center of technology and innovation, and puts Musk in closer to proximity to the headquarters of Twitter, which the billionaire tech entrepreneur purchased last year in a massive social media shakeup.

Can’t see Texas governor being too happy about this…

After a fit of pique Musk discovers that IT experts prefer to work in California. He couldn't manage a chook raffle in a pub.

Weep not.  He was the one who put up a bounty on election fraud and Fetterman called him out.  Wonder of if he ever paid up.

If the location is the one I'm thinking of it is quite a nice campus, built on hills with a view to the east.  Maybe he plans to move Twitter there as well.
