A Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives has called on Elon Musk to move Tesla's corporate headquarters from Texas to Florida.

The invitation reflects Florida's aggressive competition for major employers. Governor Ron DeSantis has positioned the state as a business-friendly destination with low taxes and minimal regulation.

Tesla relocated its headquarters to Austin in December 2021 from Palo Alto, California, citing expansion opportunities and lower costs. Musk moved his personal residence to Texas around the same time.
