Headlines are suggesting Texas. Some rancher offering free land and Gov is courting him. Hope not. Too many Californians are loading up their politics when they move out.

He owes a billion if he drops out.

This news also caused the Titter stock to drop, which actually makes the deal MORE attractive.

They were saying that Tesla stock had dropped considerably since Musk bought the twitter stock initially, and if it would rebound (after dropping out of the deal) he would more than make up the $1B fee.

No idea how credible it was.

It is being built by some religeous group. They are paying cash, so let's say the construction has been slow. Decades slow.

Rumor has it that the building is almost finished. 6 months ago on the way to Universal Studios, I saw active construction going on.
