Tesla’s headquarters will move to Austin

Maybe, although I would imagine Tesla's the premiere destination for fresh triple-star college graduates that don't mind taking a pay hit to work for Tesla (and burn out after 3 years.)

Or California's housing market is just too fucked. I think this is more plausible than the income tax too high theory.

Every talented meche or swe I know either gets paid multitudes more somewhere else. Or has worked there and didn’t want to work 7 day weeks anymore.

It’s all anecdotal but I’ve only heard negative things about working at a Musk co.

I was on the job market a few years ago and on a whim decided to look at the careers sites of SpaceX and Tesla. While there were openings that were interesting to me, both companies' listings had spelled out in clear terms – this job is for people who are passionate about the work. You will be expected to work long hours, nights and weekends. This is an exempt position so there will be no overtime pay.

I backed away real quick.
