I have a theory that the city of Tulsa is trying to drive IC Bus Plant out because there have been some backdoor deals to get Tesla (Elon Musk) to move operations from Fremont, California to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Thoughts?



 
I may be way off here but it seems very odd to me that the city of Tulsa is making these ridiculous demands (like upgrading freight elevators that are not and will not be used for instance) on a long time tenant (20 years) that has singed a 40 year lease and provides decent paying jobs to the citizens of Tulsa.
 
Tesla has already threatened to move it's Cali operations to Texas or Nevada, not Oklahoma.

That was for the Headquarters. The news said he wants to build a new plant also and Tulsa was mentioned.

Oklahoma was mentioned in two of the headlines I posted and Tulsa once.

I am left wondering if you actually read what I posted.
