Beijing, February 23 (Xinhua) Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) and California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday that Tesla will set up its global engineering headquarters in California. 'Tesla is a bit like a dual-headquarters company, 'Mr. Musk said.

Musk met with California Governor Newson Musk and his staff on Wednesday and showed him around Tesla's new engineering headquarters. The meeting, held at Tesla's engineering office in Palo Alto, Calif., focused on Tesla's efforts to create jobs and expand in the state, according to people close to the governor. Tesla's expansion will focus on hiring engineers who are proficient in research and development and artificial intelligence. These plans will help Tesla accelerate the development of autopilot and robotics.

Tesla rented office space previously occupied by Hewlett-Packard for his new project headquarters. "this is Hewlett-Packard's original headquarters, so I think this is a poetic transition from the ancestor of Silicon Valley to Tesla, and we are very happy to turn it into our global engineering headquarters," Musk said in an interview. we are a company headquartered in California and Texas. "

Mr Musk said the new facility was "actually a headquarters for Tesla" and it was "a bit like a dual-headquarters company". Tesla's main headquarters is in Austin, Texas.

Tesla's success is inseparable from California and its strong climate initiative. California leads the US zero-emission car market with sales of nearly 1.4 million zero-emission vehicles and has 55 manufacturing companies related to zero-emission vehicles.

But Tesla also faces regulatory scrutiny in California. The California Motor vehicle Administration formally charged Tesla with fraudulent marketing and advertising activities in his autopilot system (Autopilot) and fully autopilot system (FSD). The California Civil Rights Agency sued Tesla, alleging that the company's car assembly plants and other factories in California had racially harassed and discriminated against black workers for years.

Moreover, Musk has also made rude remarks about California. When the COVID-19 outbreak broke out in March 2020, Musk clashed with California state officials over reopening the Tesla plant in Fremont, California. At the time, Mr Musk was pushing employees back to work at a time when the COVID-19 epidemic affected businesses across the US. Musk called California's health-related COVID-19 restrictions "fascism".
