Elon Musk, Gavin Newsom Announce , New Tesla Headquarters in California.
Fox Business reports that the California governor and Tesla CEO held a joint press conference on Feb.
22 in Palo Alto.

6 Tips, for First-Time Investors.
1. Do not put all your
money into one company.
Just because Tesla leads the electric car market
right now, it does not mean it will be this way forever.
2. Avoid paying too much attention
to pundits on television.
Wells Fargo Adviser Scott Pedvis says a big
mistake is taking what others say "as gospel.".
3. Start as early as you can.
The earlier you begin, the more
time investments have to develop.
4. Enroll in a 401k plan
at your job, if possible.
A 401k is an excellent way to store money for when you eventually retire.
5. Do not be afraid
to ask for help.
A lot of investing can be done independently,
but not everything in your life can be do-it-yourself, Scott Pedvis, via 'USA Today'.
6. Put money into your investments on
a predetermined date each month.
It forces you to save,
and takes the emotion
out of investing, Scott Pedvis, via 'USA Today'

reportedly quit after experiencing "mental health consequences of working at a company that is using their labor to enable a genocide," No Tech for Apartheid said.
On a personal level, I am opposed
