The plan was hatched when they smoked that joint together. Great state to move to if you want to avoid taxes on capital gains and if you want to build factories doing whatever the heck you want with no worker protections. If you really think of it - one of the main reasons Musk started in CA was because thats where his client base was to get the homegrown advantages for clientbase, talent and green benefits/cred. Now since his base has moved globally, he is moving to the lowest cost of operations (read: Texas). And to be fair - it would be very difficult to upsize any of his manufacturing capabilities in the bay area. The fact that he even has a major facility there is kind of impressive.
