The electric car maker will occupy the former Hewlett-Packard site in Palo Alto.
“If a team is winning for too long, they tend to get complacent,” Musk said in December 2020. “California has been winning for a long time, and I think they’re taking it for granted.”
With more than 47,000 employees in California, Tesla has maintained a large footprint in the state, including hardware and software engineering in Palo Alto, its auto plant in Fremont, battery development and testing in San Diego and Megapack production in Lathrop. For Newsom, Tesla’s decision also represents a win at a time when his second term in the governor’s office has stoked speculation about his possible future plans regarding national politics. The governor also indicated that he’s well aware California can’t be complacent, even if its economy would be one of the world’s largest.
“I recognize the world we invented is now competing against us,” the governor said. “You can’t rest on your laurels.” Musk and Newsom offered few other details about the move, and didn’t specify if it would create any new jobs.
