On Friday, Gov. Newsom lavished praise on Elon Musk — despite the Tesla CEO announcing one day earlier he plans to move his company's headquarters from California to Texas. Still, Newsom said California helped make the electric automaker what it is today.
Newsom noted he has known Musk for two decades and lauded him as “one of the world’s greatest innovators and entrepreneurs” who has “invested untold amounts of money in this state to create thousands and thousands of jobs.”
Newsom downplayed the significance of the Tesla headquarters shift, noting that Musk announced plans to ramp up production at a California plant and pointing to Musk's commercial space flight company SpaceX leasing office space in Long Beach. The governor also argued California fueled Tesla’ success, pointing to the millions of dollars California has spent to subsidize the burgeoning electric car industry.
Elected officials in deeply Democratic California have a mixed relationship with Musk and the company he built. Tesla’s role as a flagship of the low-emission vehicle market is a source of pride in the environmentally conscious state, and its plant in the Bay Area city of Fremont is a source of well-paying manufacturing jobs.
