At this stage, is there any way out from the Californian descent into a low tech dystopia?

I'd say it's terminal decline. Will only get better once it gets really really bad. They're still privileged in having a beautiful attractive natural state, and having Asian-facing ports. That's part of the problem, they have a lot of resources to cash in before they're scraping the bottom like Kansas or something.

Tesla moved its headquarters to Texas during the pandemic but his other companies stayed behind in California.
The Boring Company moved to Texas last year, likely because the mainly provide services to Tesla. Neuralink appears to be staying in California but it's too small to really matter.

Probably but some types of cancer are worse than others. The part of SF that Twitter had been pulling its employees from might as well have been a party meeting during the height of the Soviet Union. Austin is leftist but nothing like the worse of San Fran.

If they overthrew their entire government, reversed all the pro-homelessness, drugs, and streetshitting laws immediately, and deported 20 million beaners and commies there might be a prayer. Failing that, it's just a question of doing our best to contain the problem in one state.

Texas will be the future libertarian stronghold of Musk, Thiel, et al. They're building universities, making a stock exchange, bringing in tech companies trying to escape Commiefornia and Jew York...
Gonna make Texas a Republic again.

Hilarious, especially as the Spanish economy tanked hard when vast wealth poured in from their colonies and the Spanish no longer wanted to work. That lead to a golden age for French and German high end craftmanship. And 400 years later, the Spanish economyh has still not recovered.

California is too brown, but that’s not the issue for Musk. He’s a conman so all he cares about is if the juice is worth the squeeze, and clearly CA isn’t worth it for him anymore.

Unpopular opinion as a leftist: Wokeness is based when it's actually sincere and non-hypocritical and directed at equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome, but not when it's seized upon by hypocritical partisan hacks with ulterior motives, corporations, and anti-white dirtbags. I hope Musk keeps driving in the knife.

Maybe I am looking into the wrong areas of reddit and the internet but I don't think most people, even your standard conservative, thinks equality of opportunity is a bad thing desu.

Texas has lower taxes and weaker regulations and enough skilled workers companies can move to it without consequences which is why companies lurv it, california isn't horrible and texas isn't special other than that fact

It is all about the flavour of "science" used by the state vs. the real science done by the escaping tax payers.

Idk I wanted to go to Texas and study computers but my parents really fucked up just everything I swear so it's just another thing I could be doing in my better life is maybe working at spacex or Internet X. Everyone is such trash I swear I got kicked out for learning to code instead of being part of the "house" like I'm some fucking appliance

The only consistently successful thread on /sci/ is /sfg/ and SpaceX is very much on topic for space issues.
As a bit of an irrelevant aside, Texas is one of only two states with the letter X in its name and we all know about Elon Musk's, the Generation Xer, fascination with the letter X. While not a dominate reason for moving to Texas, it probably factored somewhere deep in Musk's subconscious.
Now that those companies are moving, Musk can join George Strait in saying that all his Xs Live in Texas.
