Texas doesn't tax high earners as much as California. And taxes lower income people more while providing fewer services.

Do you think higher taxes are intrinsically good?

State tax revenue per capita are in Texas is about 35% of California's.

For state, Texas per capita revenue was 2.2k to Californias 6.3k. Do you have numbers for city and county?

Best I could find was this:

It is quite possible that Musk has given California more in taxes than everyone commenting on HN today, combined. A quick search suggests [0] he has order-of-magnitude billions in Californian tax liabilities.

If he doesn't think there is value for money, it is appropriate that he moves. He doesn't have a moral responsibility to prop up California if he doesn't think they are spending his money effectively.
