A profane tweet aimed at Elon Musk that eventually led him to leave California has resurfaced after the SpaceX founder became a trillionaire with his company’s record-breaking IPO.

Experts say the Golden State lost out on billions when Musk relocated his multi-trillion business empire, which includes Tesla and X, to Texas.

Now, a six-year-old tweet by the head of California’s labor unions is getting new attention for the effect it had on Musk taking his electric-car company out of the state.

“F— Elon Musk,” California Federation of Labor Unions President Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher tweeted in May 2020.

He later appeared to confirm that Fletcher’s post convinced him to relocate Tesla to Texas, replying “Exactly” to an article stating that her attack caused him to make the move.
