California Reject's SpaceX's Request for Subsidies, Citing Musk's Tweet About Relocating


A California state panel on Friday rejected a request from Elon Musk's SpaceX for $655,500 in state job and training funds, citing the chief executive's recent threats to move Tesla, the electric carmaker that he also runs, out of the state...

Five members of California's Employment Training Panel voted to reject the proposal and two voted for it, with one member absent, after discussing Musk's tweets on Tesla's reopening and media reports of layoffs at SpaceX's Hawthorne, California headquarters in recent years. "In my opinion, given the recent threats of the CEO to leave the state of California, and everything else we've discussed today, this proposal does not rise to the level for me to feel secure in supporting it," said Gretchen Newsom, a panel member and the political director of an IBEW electrical workers union local... Though a small amount of money, the funding was opposed by organized labor groups. Tesla and SpaceX are both nonunion shops...

SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This is just the free market responding to hyperinflation and overregulation...

I'm surprised someone such as yourself, even lives in such a state.

There's a difference between Musk and Big Tech. The tech guys aren't going anywhere. Elon's ego getting the best of him here.

Bring those home prices down. I'm trying to buy.

Nevada seems more your speed.

You'd have sin city(fukkery), nature(grand canyon, lake tahoe, Mohave dessert), and you'd be a 45 minute southwest flight from your kin...

Wtf are you going do in Wyoming? Meth and work for the oil industry. You know you live for fukkery. Ain't no way you'd be getting the same type of "experiences" in Wyoming, that sin city can bring.

I had to drive through WY two times back and forth from CA to Chicago and i would not want to even fly over it, its that boring.
