Elon Musk Says Tesla, SpaceX Manufactured In Costly California Just Because He Lived There Even As Rivals Boeing, Lockheed Martin Left: 'These Were Done In Spite Of, Not Because Of, The California Govt'
Elon Musk Says Tesla, SpaceX Manufactured In Costly California Just Because He Lived There Even As Rivals Boeing, Lockheed Martin Left: 'These Were Done In Spite Of, Not Because Of, The California Govt'
The last automotive factory in California (NUMMI) shut down in early 2009. Billionaire CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday that his companies, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX, started manufacturing in California despite the higher cost because he lived in the state.
億萬富翁首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克週二表示，儘管成本較高，但他的公司特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）和SpaceX仍在加利福尼亞開始製造，因爲他住在該州。
What Happened: Tesla bought its Fremont Factory from Toyota Motor in 2010. It was previously owned by NUMMI, a joint venture between General Motors and Toyota which ended when GM entered bankruptcy in 2009.
發生了什麼：特斯拉於2010年從豐田汽車手中收購了弗裏蒙特工廠。它以前歸通用汽車和豐田的合資企業NUMMI所有，該合資企業在通用汽車於2009年破產時結束。
"Tesla took over the derelict building, after it was stripped of anything useful, and it is now the highest production car factory in the Americas! That was simply because I lived in California," Musk said on social media platform X.
「特斯拉接管了這座廢棄的建築，此前它被剝奪了任何有用的東西，現在它是美洲產量最高的汽車工廠！那僅僅是因爲我住在加利福尼亞。」 馬斯克在社交媒體平台X上說。

Likewise, Musk's rocket manufacturing company SpaceX took over an abandoned aerospace building in LA County and started manufacturing rockets there because the company CEO lived there, Musk said.
馬斯克說，同樣，馬斯克的火箭製造公司SpaceX接管了洛杉磯縣一座廢棄的航空航天大樓，並開始在那裏製造火箭，因爲該公司首席執行官住在那裏。
"These were done in spite of, not because of, the California government. It would be far lower cost to manufacture in other states, which is why our competitors moved out of state," Musk said, referring to rival launch provider United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, which produces rockets in Alabama.
「儘管如此，這些還是這樣做的，不是因爲加利福尼亞州政府萬億美元。在其他州的製造成本要低得多，這就是我們的競爭對手遷出該州的原因。」 馬斯克說，他指的是競爭對手的發射供應商聯合發射聯盟，這是波音和洛克希德·馬丁公司的合資企業，在阿拉巴馬州生產火箭。

Why It Matters: Musk has long been critical of California.
爲何重要：馬斯克長期以來一直對加利福尼亞持批評態度。
He moved Tesla's headquarters from California to Austin a few years ago citing disagreements with state policies, and subsequently, he also moved his company's state of incorporation to Texas.
幾年前，他以州政策分歧爲由將特斯拉總部從加利福尼亞遷至奧斯汀，隨後，他還將公司的註冊州遷至德克薩斯州。
In July, the billionaire said he would move the headquarters of his rocket manufacturing company SpaceX from Hawthorne in California to Starbase in Texas. He himself also relocated to Texas in 2021.
7月，這位億萬富翁表示，他將把火箭製造公司SpaceX的總部從加利福尼亞的霍桑遷到德克薩斯州的Starbase。他本人也於2021年搬到了德克薩斯州。
While California has a history of supporting Democratic candidates, Texas is a republican stronghold. Musk endorsed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in July and is now actively campaigning for the former President both online and offline.
儘管加利福尼亞州有支持民主黨候選人的歷史，但得克薩斯州是共和黨的據點。馬斯克在7月支持共和黨總統候選人唐納德·特朗普，現在正在在線和線下積極競選前總統。
