You're viewing a single thread.
To the state that can't even keep their power grid up during the winter?... Or summer?
This has nothing to do with physical locality.
It's because he lost a shareholder lawsuit over his exorbitant compensation package, and he's being a whiny salty baby about it.
To be clear, Tesla is currently incorporated in Delaware, which is already well known for being extremely hostile to shareholder lawsuits like this. He picked the most favourable ground possible and still lost. He's not going to get better treatment from Texas.
He's just throwing his toys out of the pram because he's mad, and forcing the entirety of Tesla to join in his tantrum.
Delaware is considered as a tax haven.
I think it’s because Delaware has really lax laws on incorporating and a special court just for corporate stuff so legal issues can get sorted quickly.
edit
Like in Delaware you can incorporate for like $500 a year and not even need to provide the names of the officers or ceo of the corporation.
Still a tax heaven.
Can you explain what makes it a tax haven?
Good luck finding talent to move to texas

It doesn’t matter where you’re incorporated. Previously, he was incorporated in Delaware, but had an HQ in California. Actually, most US corporations are incorporated in Delaware because the small state with not much else going for it has very very business friendly laws.
Texas has Nasa and Texas instruments (they do more than make calculators). So its not impossible to find.
Texas Instruments is incorporated in Delaware.
Would you leave either of those to sleep on the floor of a car factory?
Fair, but this is talking about where the company is incorporated, which isn't the same as where they're physically operating from.
They have their headquarters in Texas though
