It's funny, I was in San Diego. Everyone I ran into seemed to be based. Every single one told me the people in California are crazy. Makes you wonder if California isn't more red than people say and it just gets screwed with voter fraud and LA.
Get this... California was home to two famous Republican Presidents, Nixon and Reagan. In 2002/3 Californians voted to recall the corrupt Democrat Governor Gray Davis. He was replaced by Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger. In 2006, Arnold Schwarzenegger won re-election. Republicans have never won anything there ever again.
Smartmatic hits the scene in 2004, used in corrupt elections in Latin America in 2006. Do we see a pattern? Is California actually a Texas-lite? It’s my opinion that yes California is truthfully a Republican majority but through trickery and fraud the Democrats have stolen and destroyed what was once the greatest state in the Union.
San Diego pede here. There are tons of commies here and like usual they tend to be the loudest. I underestimated the amount of conservatives here for years, but I'm starting to realize we are here in big numbers minding our own business.
That is mostly true but don't forget the Bay area libtards. Only saw a single Biden sign in my suburban neighborhood in San Diego, a county which is heavily military.
The servers they uncovered showed a lot. Why would they need dominion machines as well as mail in? Did you see maiden gate when it comes to ex California residents? Shits crazy
Calipede here. I've lived here my entire life, my family has held the same land for generations, which I'm expected to inherit. I want to be able to continue this legacy without being it tarnished by or having to leave it behind because of commie bullshit. Hold the line fren, we will win. California will be ours again.
I agree, we need to continue to hold the line here in commiefornia. One day (hopefully soon) we will advance the line remove the commie plague from this state. 90% of the family here in California support the GEOTUS and voted for him. Need to work on the last 10%.
Their kiddos wished they were old enough to vote for the GEOTUS. Luckily for the 10%, the redpill is a suppository. If their body rejects it then yes deport.
I wouldn't know, tbh. I knew only a few people from New York, less from NYC, they were all okay. I've met a lot more scumbags from Mid and North West, and New England though. One way or the other, not enough to draw any conclusions, people are people, shit exists everywhere.
Smart people do this. The taxes and pure bullshit measures (all supporting BLM) in California make it ridiculously bad to conduct business in the commie state. We are witnessing the precipitous decline of a formerly great state into the next Venezuela, where criminals run the streets, businesses are closed, people are unemployed, yet somehow the political elite get richer while their supporters get a free iPhone.
Texas has no State income tax but they make up for it with high property tax. However, if you pick the right County you can keep your property tax lower than other counties. Harris County (Houston) I think has the highest, while rural counties are considerably lower. So the trick to paying less taxes in Texas is to have a high income (no income tax), but live in a modest home in a lower tax county.
When you bring a business to California - they tell you how high, how big, how much, how many permits, and who you can and can't hire.
When you bring a business to Texas - they ask you what they can do to make you happier? How can they make bringing your business here more attractive and less costly? Oh build whatever you want and hire whoever you want.
Heh. As an Australian living in QLD I always find it cute when Americans talk about 'Hot' weather. Really American hot weather is just beautiful weather!
And a 7.25%-10.85% sales tax depending on where you live if you decide to buy anything. 1% property tax (based on value of home) every year. 72 cent per gallon tax on fuel. If you smoke, prepare to pay $4 more for your nicotine in tax. Registering a vehicle? Has to be done every year, and if it's a pickup truck - get ready to bend over for a weight tax. You even get taxed on OTHER people's DUI's by registering your vehicle.
People who aren't from here seldom understand. My wife and I make six figures, sounds like a lot, but We could live more comfortably in other places making half as much.
Yep, I remember my first job here when my boss said $500k/year was a middle class life in CA and I balked. It's probably not that high, but you need to make well above $100k to have a normal life int he city.
Oh more than that in the bay area. If you're anywhere near the big tech shithole, get ready to pay millions for an average home without any property.
Luckily, for me, California is HUGE. So the central and northern parts of the state are still semi reasonable (I mean my 2000 sqft house is still over $320k, but I've got a little property and my neighbors aren't stacked on me). The problem is we live like we're in Texas, but have to be represented by people who have no idea what country life is about.
There are certainly very small specific areas where $500k isn't middle class, but even in the bay area that will get you a house, a (small) yard, and all the trappings of a middle class life.
What are you talking about? Of course he's allowed to move out of the United States of America.
E: I have to add it's important to understand we are a country that has to keep people out, not fence them in. People want to enter our country, not leave.
It proves Trump right in that CA commie policies are hurting the state. It's a huge red pill for a lot of people whatever Musk's reasoning was.
You're right I never was in TX, but I still think this is good news.
Everyone I love is here in Cali. So I will stay and keep voting & fighting the good fight!

After we get Trump sworn in we need to fix election integrity. The 2022 midterms will be shocking!
Makes sense that they would target and prioritize doing this in Cali for it's 55 electoral votes.
I believe this as well
I agree. They are a slave state. Republicans are only worth 3/5ths vote.
San Diego pede here. There are tons of commies here and like usual they tend to be the loudest. I underestimated the amount of conservatives here for years, but I'm starting to realize we are here in big numbers minding our own business.
That is mostly true but don't forget the Bay area libtards. Only saw a single Biden sign in my suburban neighborhood in San Diego, a county which is heavily military.
Not all of us up here are libtards. I saw 2 Biden bumper stickers the entire election, and no yard signs.
I'm in SD. Many retards. I and my friends are based though.

My 10% that doesn't support GEOTUS are first in-line for a deporting.
Their kiddos wished they were old enough to vote for the GEOTUS. Luckily for the 10%, the redpill is a suppository. If their body rejects it then yes deport.
We are with you.
The country needs people like you!
(Full disclosure, I don't want more Californians moving to my state)
>I don't want more Californians moving to my state
We didn't want anyone moving to our state either, yet here we are:
https://depts.washington.edu/moving1/California.shtml
tbh it is New Yorkers that ruin everything
It's the douchebags that ruin everything, they exist among any population.
Yes! New Yorkers, like I said.
I wouldn't know, tbh. I knew only a few people from New York, less from NYC, they were all okay. I've met a lot more scumbags from Mid and North West, and New England though. One way or the other, not enough to draw any conclusions, people are people, shit exists everywhere.
As a proud Texan, thank you for staying in Cali. Even, especially, if you're one of the good ones.
According to Sidney Powell California actually went red this year but was flipped by fraudulent votes.
So keep fighting, you almost have it!

As long as he leaves his commie employees on the coast.
They are surprisingly based. I am buddies with a small handful from college and they are here on T_D.
That is awesome. I love what Elon does, Tesla model S is my dream car.
When you bring a business to California - they tell you how high, how big, how much, how many permits, and who you can and can't hire.

Freedom versus nanny state in full effect.
I'd like to move to Texas but
Love the peeps though.
It’s not all flat. Hill county and west Texas panhandle might be places to look
I live near Fredericksburg...definitely not flat. Hot as all hell though.
It's not flat in the middle or in the West. It's heavily forested in the East.
The weather is fantastic October through May, then it gets HOT.
Today is absolutely perfect weather.
Heh. As an Australian living in QLD I always find it cute when Americans talk about 'Hot' weather. Really American hot weather is just beautiful weather!
What’s wrong with it being flat?
What's wrong with that? Your wife fits the criteria, and you married her.
California 13% state tax will make you do that. Imagine how much he will save.
And a 7.25%-10.85% sales tax depending on where you live if you decide to buy anything. 1% property tax (based on value of home) every year. 72 cent per gallon tax on fuel.

This state is crazy.
Wow, that is communism.

Lol well, I am maybe exaggerating. Are you in CA or TX? I think I might have misunderstood.
CA
Ok, so I am not exaggerating. 😂
Man thats great you make 6 figures! I make a humble pittance here in Ohio, but I live happily.
Guarantee he keeps getting ballots sent to him from Cali in Texas.
What sucks is all the cucks from Cali will follow them. Texas needs their own immigration laws.
He's had a test site for SpaceX in Texas for years.
Tesla plant is being built in Austin already..https://electrek.co/2020/09/16/tesla-gigafactory-texas-plans-revealed/
I hope he gets a cowboy hat and Texas flag shirt.
Instead of New Zealand, Greece, or France (or back to South Africa), he chose moving to Texas to protest US policy and elections.
To be fair, he's not legally allowed to take any SpaceX tech out of the country.
What are you talking about? Of course he's allowed to move out of the United States of America.
E: I have to add it's important to understand we are a country that has to keep people out, not fence them in. People want to enter our country, not leave.
He can move wherever he pleases. Taking rocket tech to a foreign country is highly illegal.
Can confirm. ITAR is a bitch.
Starting a space company in the United States in the first place was a mistake.
Perhaps. But his company would also be dead without NASA funding.
Elon's move to Texas as literally saved him tens of billions in taxes. (if he were to sell all his Tesla shares).
Forcing Tesla to stop production for 6 weeks has cost Cali billions.
He’s bring Tesla over too.
I don't trust the SOB
Get Bent Commiefornia ... Bankrupcy waits for your stupid project.
Cali is red. Fraud has just taken the state away from us.
ah well
Falling HP's lead.
Trump probably won Cali. Riggers rigged it.
IF true, he just saved himself theoretically 13% in state tax. Texas has no state income taxes and the top rate in CA is 13%.
Starting to think I should move there too
Don't commiefornia my Texas! Arizona is better, stop there.
It proves Trump right in that CA commie policies are hurting the state. It's a huge red pill for a lot of people whatever Musk's reasoning was. You're right I never was in TX, but I still think this is good news.
Huh...what..he doesn't want to live in a socialist shithole?
“You may all go to hell and I will go to Texas.”
Let's hope it works out better for Musk than it did for Crockett
Now begins the 10 year process of fending off California income tax audits to "prove" you actually moved away.
Lucky bastard....
He needs the uniform. Who will take him gun shopping?
Looks like it's actually zerohedge who said Elon musk has moved to Texas?
