Great contribution.

By the way I’ll never understand people who are proud of their Hispanic heritage but then can’t be arsed to write their own names with the proper accents.

California is actively looking for ways to extract more money from Elon.

It likely posed an appreciable risk to his business ventures that CA at some point will try to tax unrecognized capital gains, which would require him to liquidate shares to pay the tax. Basically akin to a hostile government takeover.

If CA were to aggressively pursue such a policy, they would likely go after anyone they perceived as fleeing just ahead of it.

In a situation like that, best to cut ties from the state as much as possible as soon as possible. This is why he had to sell all his CA assets.

I'm not sure what accents on letters have to do with being proud of one's heritage.

Criticizes California for excessive regulation, then moves to a state where it's illegal for Tesla to sell its cars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_US_dealership_disputes#T...

Interesting... do you think it could be part of a strategy to get Texas to change this law?

When you mention excessive regulations you might want to look at all regulations, not just cherry pick one of them to make a point.

Because accents are part of your language and your language is an integral part of your heritage.
