California exodus is the flight of many of its best residents and top companie from liberal California, mostly to Texas.
| “ | Oracle Corp., a Silicon Valley stalwart, has moved its headquarters to Texas, as one of many technology companies leaving its home state in the face of California’s higher taxes, steeper cost of living, culture issues like rampant cannabis and wildfires.[1] | ” |
Others who have moved away from Texas include:
- Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors.
- Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.
- Palantir Technologies Inc.
The downside of the exodus is that the people continue to vote for the same failed policies, thus turning the other states into blue or at least purple ones. Nevada and Colorado are now solidly blue, as are some parts of Texas (mainly the Austin area), while other areas are purple (Collin County, just north of Dallas, has a higher turnout of Democrat voters than neighboring Denton County, even though the latter has two liberal universities in its boundaries).
