This is for the Palo Alto HQ as well. Tesla HQ is one of the most densely packed open office plan I have seen. It’s going to spread like a meat packing plant if the workers are asked to come back.

Maybe I'm just looking at the past with rose-colored glasses, but postwar US built the most advanced highway infrastructure, hoover dam, landed on the moon. Now we rely on rate cuts and tax cuts to inflate our paper wealth. California
