How fun would it be if the next Texas power grid failure manages to cause serious damage to Apartheid-Baby’s pet project?

madjo ,

How completely insecure must you be that you’re so afraid of trans people that you move entire factories to other states? That’s the noise of a fragile man baby.

Simulation6 ,

Usually you move factories for tax breaks. You can say whatever you want for the reason, though this reason just makes him seem stupid and hateful.

mynamesnotrick ,

Not to the people he said it to. They are gonna think even better of him.

Hobbes_Dent ,

The kind of decision making others feel worthy of an over 50 billion pay package.

Fuck Elon, and fuck the board too. Never buying one with him involved.

unlawfulbooger ,

I will also never buy a spaceship /j

Maybe if you stopped eating avocado toast and made coffee at home.

Would you download one?

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

Do you own stocks through Vanguard? Other index funds? Chances are your money voted for Elon’s pay package, unfortunately.

themurphy ,

He’s literally evil towards his daughter. He said “can’t win them all” when asked about her. Wtf.

ByteOnBikes ,

This is hilarious. With the Texas electrical system, there’s going to be days when they cant operate.

My company cancelled opening up a campus there because of that issue!

nomous ,

He could drop a few billion into TX power grid infrastructure and probably buy quite a bit of goodwill.

RidgeDweller ,

Dude could foot the bill to end world hunger. Doubt either would happen anytime soon. The last charitable thing I can remember him doing was offering that dumbass submarine in the Thai cave rescue before calling the actual rescuer a pedo.

vaultdweller013 ,

Also investing into local infrastructure or running your own seperate seperate infrastructure is more of a Fordian thought process. Which has been all but abandoned by the modern corporate class. I legit dont get why companies with large campuses specifically with large parking lots arent fallibg over themselves to build awnings with solar panels on top.

Don_alForno ,

Sounds like taxes with extra steps.

Gestrid ,

*Taxes with fewer steps.

No need for all that pesky tax paperwork, save for end-of-year tax filings.

Because he is not really moving. Moving the HQ doesn’t mean moving the entire company. He is just moving the address of where the corporation is registered and only move the finance and admin department to Austin. Texas has no corporate income tax.

Just like how he “moved” Tesla to Austin. and turned the office in California into a R&D hub. So basically every Tesla employee in California stayed in California.

kaffiene ,

What an utter twat

WallEx ,

Imagine there are still people chilling for this Nazi piece of shit.

And I don’t use that word lightly. He has done enough to be getting this label.

RubberElectrons ,

You got my upvote, fuck this trashbag-ass scum wipe with corresponding intellect.

doingthestuff ,

There are a million reasons to move out of California but there are a million reasons to not go to Texas.

hessenjunge ,

I think this works better when the numbers are not equal:

There are a thousand reasons to move out of California but there are a million reasons to not go to Texas.

vaultdweller013 ,

Also why not relocate to Nevada, Arizona, or fuck even Idaho would could be better than Texas. Idaho is the least developed out of those three and even then it still gets a tonne of advantages of being in the rocky mountain/ western states region.

Wytch ,

I know that this is vile and sick and cruel but goddamn, that headline is so fucking batshit stupid I laughed out loud.

What a colossal dipshit.

MrMcGasion ,

No way that’s the real reason, the real reason is taxes. So many California millionaires move to Texas for the low tax, only to realize once they’re there that it’s a shitty state with a barely-functioning power grid. Unfortunately it never seems to click for most of them that the low taxes is a big part of why they don’t have a competent state government.

Wytch ,

If it isn’t, then it’s worse, because that means he’s only saying it out of cruelty and petty malice. And it means I now loathe him somehow more than I already did.

BallsandBayonets ,

I’m sure they’re aware, they just don’t care. Being wealthy they can buy more than their fair share of the power grid, or any other utility or government service, for less than they would pay in taxes in a functioning state.

Freefall ,

I had to pause as my brain processed it, returning only “yep…ok…um, sure…”

BrightCandle ,

He is just a continuous liar, its about taxes it always is.

ayyy ,

Billionaires don’t pay taxes anyways, silly.

slimarev92 ,

Fascist piece of shit. I’d love to never hear anything about him again.

Yewb ,

Doesnt he have a fiduciary responsibility to the share holders? How is this unnecessary move going to help increase their value?

Please lets think of the shareholders!

Celestus ,

SpaceX is not publicly traded, so there are no (public) shareholders to be beholden to

Yewb ,

There are stake holders that are not elon he only has like 54% still a fiduciary responsibility

Lemonparty ,

Unless I’m mistaken they’ve always been based in Texas. Like look at their corporate license, they’re incorporated in Texas. SpaceX isn’t moving shit, he’s just talking out his ass per usual.

Bluefalcon ,

Why are we the U.S. people funding this?

If SpaceX moves, and it’s worker’s are unwilling/unable to move; does that grant them severance?

I’d take that out.

Crikeste ,

Disney did something similar recently and fucked over some of their employees because they eventually decided against it. Might be able to find your answer there.

wintermute_oregon , (edited )

Severance is not required by law. So no, it doesn’t grant them severance.

todd_bonzalez ,

Severance is required by law.

Where? In America?

I’m afraid not.

wintermute_oregon ,

Sorry missed a word.

danikpapas ,

I don’t know why you guys hate on Elon. Should have the right to know what happening to their children. Schools shouldn’t be hiding anything from the parents.

dustyData ,

You mean the guy that mistreated his own daughter so bad after she came out as trans that she even changed her legal name just to not be associated with him in any shape or form? The guy who said “can’t win them all” when asked about the topic? You mean you can’t think of a reason why nobody likes that guy?

almar_quigley ,

In the case of abuse at home should the school tell the parents if the kids report it? Where do you draw the line for privacy and what difference does it make if the parents are aware their kid gos by different pronouns at school? Why do so many people look at kids like they are property…? And this is coming from someone who can’t stand being around kids most of the time…

I hate to break it to you, but if a child tells the school before they tell their own damn parents, there’s a reason for that.

For the inevitable report the mods will get: this is directly quoting Elon Musk accusing a volunteer trying to save lives of paedophilia just for disagreeing with him.

InternetUser2012 ,

You don’t know why people hate on him??? Do you live under a rock?

ArmoredThirteen ,

Schools are often where abused kids are able to build trust with adults and actually talk about their home life. Sure there’s plenty the school should inform the parents of but some things could do serious damage. If they aren’t already, teachers should be getting training on when and how to make that judgement call

Mediocre_Bard ,

You are wrong. Students develop independent identity at school. Parents are not entitled to every detail of their child’s life.

andrewrgross ,

This is actually a misrepresentation of the law.

The law bans school districts from requiring teachers to report if students start experimenting with different pronouns.

Teachers can still report this to parents. There is nothing barring them from doing so. The only change is that they aren’t policed by their school district.

Technically, this is actually the classically conservative position!

This whole thing is extremely stupid. Parents should take care of their own shit. You want to know what your kid is thinking? Talk to them. Demanding that the trusted adults in their lives who DO pay attention to them narc for you is a weak-ass move for parents who run to the nanny state to help them raise their kids because they don’t know how to manage their own damn family life.
