Yeah, Musk might be able get away with this, since I expect many key employees will be attracted by much lower housing costs out of state. Texas has high real estate taxes, but not high enough to offset savings on house prices.
- cromwellian 6y agoYou just can’t move a whole company, lots of people have roots, family, kids have friends, school, etc I doubt more than 10% of people would just relocate on a dime. Studies show overall Americans are not willing to move where jobs are once they’ve settled. Much is made of a tiny percentage of people leaving. The vast majority won’t and will be forced to see another job if he were to close the CA offices which will be massively disruptive. I’m betting he won’t, that the CA offices won’t move, and the people who are writing the code that lands his rockets will remain. It’s too much of a risk to replace those people and break up teams.
