After a month-long argument with the Great State of California, Tesla founder Elon Musk has had enough. According to Business Insider, Musk confirmed on Tuesday that he has moved to Texas. Musk began extricating himself when local COVID-19 restrictions forced Tesla to temporarily close its only US car factory in the Bay Area. Over the summer, as he sold many Los Angeles-area homes, Musk also quietly moved his charitable foundation to Texas. At a virtual conference on Tuesday, Musk pointedly noted Tesla owns the last car manufacturing plant in the entire state of California.
Tesla’s issues with faulty production and inconsistent quality extend outside the U.S. market: As first reported by Bloomberg, the automaker is set to recall close to 30,000 of its imported Model S and Model X cars from China, citing problems surrounding the vehicle’s suspension systems. Per a statement from China’s State Administration for Market Regulation—a relatively new and broadly empowered agency with functions similar to the SEC, CFTC, FDA, and USPTO in the United States—Tesla’s Beijing branch issued recalls for 29,193 Model X or Model S cars made between September 17th, 2013 and January 15th, 2018. The vehicles built during that roughly four-and-a-half year window may have rolled off the factory line with major suspension defects.

In September, Netanyahu urged Musk to combat anti-Semitism on X, calling on him to find "the ability to stop not only anti-Semitism, or rolling it back as best you can, but any collective hatred".
