Texas doesn't have the crazy laws that California has and Texas is very pro business and doesn't treat their business' like the enemy.
The Houston news media had a report last week that a Fort Bend judge and others are actively pursing Elon to move his headquarters to the Sugar Land area.
I live in SW Houston and have been here since 1970. Any business that relocates anywhere near Houston is nuts !!! Flooding is a persistent problem here and it is an area wide problem not just localized. Central Texas would be a much wiser choice.....

Seven months to build a plant and get it up and running? That seems very aggressive. I have seen manufacturing facilities moved to another building and set up and running in a month. In those cases you are talking about existing infrastructure and capital. Maybe Elon has an assembly line sitting in a warehouse somewhere?!
