This. If anyone wants to know where the problem starts I would suggest our education and university. Our universities are brain washing as many as possible in arts degrees. I wonder why?

No offense to arts degree owners. I have one. I didn’t like to maths



I disagree. The government still has total control and power regardless of how based the population is or is not. A far right wing government is still incentivized to grow in size and scope.

I believe they studied the California diaspora to Texas and it wasn't overwhelming liberals. Many Republican voting citizens of California moved to Texas.

People see California liberals moving to Austin and think that's representative of the whole, but it isn't.

I wanna like him, but he does stuff like this that has just too much “Look at me!” in it.

I believe the stat is that non-native Texans overwhelmingly voted for Cruz in 2016 and that Beto won the native Texan vote (but not as much as Cruz won the non-native vote). Obviously not all are Californians, but a significant number are.

It's been one of the problems with our system - out-migration from blue states (CA, IL, NY) to red states is largely derived from the middle class and relatively conservative cohorts. The blue states get even bluer, and the red states get redder. It's probably not an insignificant reason why Florida has stayed purple-red and even arguably gotten more red over the last twenty years.

Really migration is causing all states to get bluer. 1965 immigration act allowing third worlders to migrate to the United States has caused it.

good for him, whats the demand for Tesla's right now though?



Tesla Cars are some of the Best "Muscle Cars "ever made

Extremely fast in the 1/4 mile.

Of course they can't drive to the track and back home without spending a 1/2 hour at the charging station

No he hasn’t. He will vote for Biden and donate enormous amounts of money to ensure Democrats win as many congressional elections in California as possible.

Blue states have the largest wealth gaps, and you have the ultra rich detached from society that vote blue along with the super poor that want every hand out they can get.

Or Texas figures out how to educate and train a workforce from within so it is not as easy for out of state workers to relocate.
But just a reminder, mitt Romney got more total votes in California than he did in Texas when he ran for President

I don't see Musk as anything but a businessman, worried about his bottom line. Which, in and of itself, of course you should be concerned about that as a business owner.


Well stated .... Tesla survives on government subsidies and tax concessions.... and therefore “blows with the wind “ ....
