As the closure order continued, a disgruntled Musk threatened to move the factory to another state.Ī while later, the Tesla CEO lambasted California’s approach to business, saying: “If a team is winning for too long, they tend to get complacent,” adding, “California has been winning for a long time, and I think they’re taking it for granted.” In addition, Musk and his car company fell out with California officials in 2020 when the company briefly defied an order to temporarily close its Fremont factory as part of measures aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus. Musk, after all, spent the last year selling most of his California homes, revealing in June that his “primary home” is now a $50,000 property in Boca Chica, also in Texas and close to the test site of SpaceX, the spaceflight company that he also leads.
He added that despite the move, Tesla would continue to expand its production activities at its current plant in Fremont, California, announcing an ambitious goal of increasing output of its electric cars at the factory by 50%.įor those who closely follow Tesla and its charismatic boss, news of the company’s decision to move its headquarters nearly 1,500 miles southeast may not come as a big surprise. “I’m excited to announce that we’re moving our headquarters to Austin, Texas,” Musk said during the shareholder event, which was streamed live online. The meeting took place at an under-construction plant in Austin that will produce Tesla’s Cybertruck and Semi truck, as well as its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, when the facility comes online later this year. Musk made the announcement during a shareholders meeting on Thursday, October 7. Tesla chief Elon Musk says the automaker will relocate its headquarters from California to Austin, Texas.
