California is one of only a few states that allows Tesla to sell direct to consumer.
They are wildly popular in Texas, and some are built there. But, due to outdated franchise laws, if you buy a Tesla in Texas….even if it built there….it has to leave the state and get imported back in for the customer to take delivery.
What else would you expect from a state that regulates its energy resources through a railroad commission?

Living in Texas, it makes perfect sense. Everyone wants a cut.

The rough and rugged, don’t tread on me, individualist ethos is all fine and dandy until you expect things like schools, hospitals, utilities and law enforcement to, you know, work.

Like Trump, Musk is transactional?
I guess that's why, despite claiming to be a "Free Speech Absolutist", Musk agreed to suppress the tweets of the opposition to Modi in India, and Erdoğan in Turkey.

Come to think of it, he suppressed some free speech along the lines of “yo Svi, the Russian sub is at the following coordinates:”

.Stuart Stevens:
This is barbaric mocking of a fight against genocide. No decent human being would do this. It is like the German cartoonists laughing at Jews trying to arm themselves to fight genocide.
This isn’t about policy. This is a boy who laughs while torturing pets. A sick man who should be shunned by decent society. Without support of US taxpayers, there is no Tesla or SpaceX. American government should end all contracts with this unstable freak. It will only get worse.
