It's baffling that any mildly serious institution would want to deal with tesla's atrocious qa, customer service and commercial practices.

have you worked at a company ever? like 60% of the time purchasing decisions are based on whatever the CEO sees on the cover of the business magazines he glances at while waiting for his tee time.

Tesla has been forced to suspend forest clearing for a new German plant after environmentalists won an injunction over threats to the habitats of resident lizards and snakes.

The American electric carmaker ran into opposition from two nature conservation groups, which launched urgent court action against the felling of 83 hectares (205 acres) of pine trees for its huge “gigafactory” plant at Grünheide, south of Berlin.

Describing Lin Wood as "the worst loving attorney" and "a dumb dumb gently caress" is technically correct, but really leaves out a lot of context - one might think that he is merely profoundly incompetent, rather than an incompetent and a malignant conspiracy-theorizing maniac with an incredible knack for own-goals. The guy is now a Trump campaign lawyer who just urged Georgians not to bother voting in the GA senate runoff election because Trump (and the Republican senate candidates) already won the election, duh.

California's Franchise Tax Board makes the IRS look like the Girl Scouts, they are VERY aggressive. Musk would be insane to not sell some billions of his stock and have actual money in the bank vs loans that can face margin calls, so I would expect him to sell the stock while he's a "resident" of Texas, but theoretically he would have to be pretty careful. At least the average person would, it seems the rules don't always apply to Musk in CA.

Obviously he can hire the best tax attorneys in town and figure this all out, but whether he follows their advice is another story.
