When he lost a race for the U.S. Congress in Tennessee, Davy Crockett famously declared, “You all can go the hell; I’m going to Texas.” The rest, as they say, is history.

Almost 190 years since Crockett won deathless glory at the Alamo, a lot of people and companies seem to be sharing his sentiment, especially those residing in California. Hewlett Packard and Oracle are scheduled to move their headquarters from high-tax, high-regulation California to business-friendly Texas. Now, Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX fame seems to be the latest to shake his fist, metaphorically speaking, at California and to move to Texas.
