The meeting, which is still in progress as of 5:35 p.m., is taking place at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin.

“Just to be clear though, we will continuing to expand our activities in California,” Musk said. “This is not a matter of Texas leaving California. Our intention is to increase output from Fremont and Giga Nevada by 50%. We’re just hitting the sides of bowl. I mean, if you go to our Fremont factory it is jammed.”
