There are literally dozens of places around the world trying to be the next Silicon Valley, and they have been trying for years.

Silicon Bayou (Louisiana) Silicon prairie (Des Moines) Silicon Slopes (Salt Lake) Silicon Alley (New York) Silicon Beach (LA) Silicon Forest (Portland)

It takes much more than some tax breaks and a $10,000 moving credit.

I hope Oklahoma figures something out, but this is hardly a differentiator.

Oklahoma income tax is basically 5%. The $10k pales in comparison to the tax saved from moving to a no income tax state, especially for a dual and/or high family.
