I was reading the comments of this video and one of the more interesting ones pointed out that there may be financial incentives for companies to RTO. Does anyone else think the California Governor is working in the background to incentivize California companies to RTO? A good question is, why would Tesla ask folks to RTO to california, even if they’re situated in Texas? Why is Graham making a video about return to California if he’s a numbers guy and he’s in the few states w/o income tax? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y1ysVfKnR0&ab_channel=GrahamStephan
Graham is a number guy and California governors offered him higher numbers
It’s always comes down to incentives/ money. The politicians will incentivize for RTO because of small businesses near offices going out of business. They go out if business , politicians don’t get money for their campaigns. Look at SF , for the city to come back they need companies to RTO
Also the income tax streams. California isn’t getting your state income tax if you live in another state. Also, when you’re a Democrat politician, the political power of concentrating high income Democrats in your area is high.
So that’s what I’m saying, these tech companies are just choosing a good business deal with Newsom and mandating we all RTO, rather than making the right decision to truly look if there’s more value in WFH vs RTO vs giving folks the choice.
Grahm pumped ftx. He is a scammer. Better not watch his videos
The Governor does look like a super villain
From Evil Corp ?
Voted in by women.
I’m pretty convinced big wigs with commercial real estate exposure made some calls to kick RTO into high gear.
Bro is mid looking and still has a cute girlfriend who’s a little taller than him even. Being white is really the biggest win in dating isn’t it
I mean he’s also a rich af business owner
Lol you're acting like this guy is hideous or something. She seems like she's within his league
Ebay RTO is not about productivity
He said in the video he’s staying in Las Vegas. He implied even though RTO supposedly improves creativity he still gets enough of it working from home. He also gets the added benefit of not having to live in CA.
So you’re saying if we vote republican RTO will be reversed?
It’s not like Tesla moved the company to Texas. Just the HQ overhead that could be done elsewhere for cheaper. They have over 47,000 employees in California. Tesla’s footprint in California is made up of Megapack production and vehicle castings in Lathrop, hardware and software engineering in Palo Alto, vehicle and battery manufacturing in Fremont, battery development and testing in San Diego and vehicle design in Hawthorne.
But isn’t Tesla moving the HQ address back to California (on paper) so they would get taxed? My point is that Newsom is striking some deals in the background. Per google: Tesla is returning to California. Elon Musk announced during a joint press conference with California Gov. Gavin Newsom that Tesla would be opening a global engineering headquarters in California, two years after a dramatic exit that saw the electric car company leave the Golden State for a facility in Austin, Texas.

Engineering headquarters is not corporate headquarters...
