I think there is a strange narrative that people assume Tesla as a company is a "progressive" company. It isn't. It is a company made up of many people - at their core they are an energy company that sells cars. Some staff are liberal, many are libertarian and some are conservative. Their CEO is a libertarian. I would wager there aren't many political progressives in the company TBH. Also in terms of workers rights etc - I wouldn't put Tesla in the progressive category either. HQ in Texas makes a fair bit of sense given Musk lives there and he can split his time more readily between Space X and Tesla. That and building out in Texas is incredibly cheap and the level of talent needed to stock up at this point doesn't need to be as capable as the early company building staff - its more operational at this point.
