I will never ever understand how such an awful website became so popular and worth billions.

If you really want to grunt at each other 280 characters, a sentence at a time like neanderthals I guess. All I know is I hated that website.

Like here my post gets displayed in cronilogical order. Twitter who knows just bury it in the pile someplace or shadow it.

Ya sure tesla space dude bought it but its still totally lame and always will be.

Millenials to me: How the heck can you write more than 280 characters? I mean, that is a book.

He can run Twitter into the ground in Texas easier than in California.

You mean "whatever is left of Twitter."

You need access to a big pool of highly talented and innovative computer-centric people to make a large tech enterprise successful. That's a big reason Silicon Valley and the SF Bay Area have been the center of the tech universe for the past 30+ years. I don't think Mississippi fits that bill. In Texas, the majority of tech companies are in the Austin and DFW region.

As long as he can fly his fleet of private jets to San Francisco (London, NY, Tokyo, etc.) on a regular basis, I don't think he cares. He would probably even do it just as a statement - even if it ultimately costs him billions of dollars - like he is doing currently. But I would guess he keeps all the highest paying positions in SF, LA, or NYC. Just outsource the peon <$300k jobs to cheaper state like TX.

The Tesla Gigafactory isn't in Mississippi.

The SpaceX launch site under construction isn't in Mississippi.

The SpaceX Rocket Development and Test Facility isn't in Mississippi.

All three are in Texas.

If it's something to address at all, convenience and regulatory environment make more sense as reasons than your particular bit of altruism.

Texas also has better access to the tech savy labor pool in Cali...not many Techies from Cali would move to MS...maybe Atanta, or Nashville, or Huntsville, but not many would move to MS. 1+Million of Californians have moved to Texas...~80k/year.
