Tesla Sues Over Shutdown as Musk Threatens California Exit

Elon Musk lashed out at the California county blocking Tesla Inc. from reopening its only U.S. car plant, threatening to immediately relocate operations to other states and cease manufacturing at the factory.

If so I might be months away from getting my S2 .....<VERY VERY SAD FACE>

Musk is talking out his a**, the cost and time required to move that factory to another state would be an idiot move right now and he knows it, just grandstanding to pressure the CA gov. You can't "immediately" move an auto manufacturing plant.

I own a Model 3, fine machine. I completely respect Musk, he is a rare bird with lots of conviction. He wanted to build his Giga factory in Calif but the silly progressives squandered that opportunity. I have zero doubt that he could pull the plug on California even if it hurts in the short term. When arrogant progressive hacks post tweets like "[email protected]#$ Musk" (Real Tweet), he responded with "Message Received". California USED to be the home of aerospace, no more. So many amazing companies are gone, with more leaving every day. This is great for the progressives for some odd reason, until they run out of other people's money, who will they tax then?

Anyway, back to the little gem, Skydio.

Oh, regarding SkyNet, you do know that Musk is hard against AI? He does believe that it is a major threat.

It was a tongue and cheek comment. I’ve watched the interviews with Joe.

Sounds very much like what's happened in New York state with Bernie S. and "The Crew". Give capitalism the chance and it'll even out perform a perpetual motion machine...

AI is definitely a major threat to us "huumans (i.e. Ferengi speak)" but probably not before our sun goes nova.

P.S. On the bright side maybe I'll get my S2 before that sun thing happens.
