Musk to move Tesla out of California

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced he will be moving its Tesla headquarters and future programs from California to Texas or Nevada.

Musk while making the announcement via his twitter handle said retaining its manufacturing plant in San Francisco Bay, California is dependent on how Tesla is treated in future.

“If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen (sp) on how Tesla is treated in the future,” he wrote on Twitter

Musk also tweeted about suing Alameda County, California, after its health department said the electric carmaker must not reopen the Fremont factory as local lockdown measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus remain in effect.

Musk had earlier criticised the lockdown and stay-at-home orders, calling them a “serious risk” to US business and “unconstitutional.”
