Musk confirms he has left California for Texas
SpaceX founder Elon Musk today confirmed that he is selling his homes in California and is moving permanently to Texas.
Musk did not reveal whereabouts in the Lone Star State he has moved to. It’s also unclear whether he will purchase any property there, given that he stated earlier this year that he wants to rid himself of possessions and is only interesting in renting.
Over the summer, the Musk Foundation officially consolidated its headquarters in Austin – a city that also houses a Tesla assembly plant. However, Musk is also known to spend time in Boca Chica, on the southeast coast of the state, where there is a SpaceX facility.
For the time being, both Tesla and SpaceX remain headquartered in California. It is unclear whether Musk will officially move both businesses to Texas at a later date.
I expect that both Tesla and SpaceX in California will soon be leaving as well. Musk is shrewd however. He has been shifting both slowly from California in the past two years as he has found it increasingly impossible to deal with government officials there. Witness Starship for example. Two years ago it was to be built in the Port of Los Angeles. Now, with little fanfare all operations have moved to Texas.
Musk will leave slowly, so as to not stir a political hornet’s nest among the fascist legislators of California. They consider everything everyone owns as belonging really to them, and will not take kindly to any attempt of Musk to escape.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

The problem with the ‘Worker’s Paradise’, is that you only have workers. You have to have an energy differential to do work. If ‘everyone is the same’, there is no capacity for work.
Raptors are still being built in California.
As are Falcon 9s, and thus probably Merlins, at Hawthorne.
Ray and Diane, the point is that Spacex and Tesla are going to probably slowly move operations out of California. There are rumors there kinda shocking. don’t know how much stock to put into it, that Disney is considering shutting down Disneyland permanently, hasn’t been open since march, a lot of bad blood between Disney and governor Newsome. Disneyland is tiny compared to Disney World and makes way more money.

Can you imagine the reaction of California governmental authorities to the SN8 test? Which was a successful launch but with a hard landing. They would likely shut it all down and the ground and facilities would be swarming with snarky bureaucrats. How can Elon possibly proceed without the guidance of the wise and enlightened clerics anointed by Saint Newsom.
