Now that Elon has extracted a bunch of subsidies from California, he is moving on.

Which ones specifically? The only two I know of are: - The low/zero emission car rebate that Toyota and every other manufacturer has used. - The clean energy manufacturing tax write off that applies to over a hundred other companies.

I don't think California has given Elon any significant subsidies. When Tesla asked states to compete on the Gigafactory, California lost to Nevada.

lol are you serious? Google "tesla ZEV credits". and CAEATFA has landed it over $225MM worth in write offs.

Write offs isn't the right word here. It's a partial tax offset for purchasing manufacturing equipment. The tax itself is already high, so the partial exemptions on that tax isn't some give away.

to move towards a sustainable future, he's moving on to Texas. Hell of a great use of subsidies.

Doing anything else is foolish.
