And away they go...
The ‘smart’ money folks are getting the hell outta Dodge!!!
As the clock ticks on California’s billionaires facing a proposed wealth tax, some of America’s top business leaders are making strategic moves to leave the Golden State.
Google co-founder Larry Page appears to be distancing himself from California, as public filings reviewed by Fox News Digital from the California Secretary of State’s office show several business entities linked to Page were moved out of the state in December, ahead of the Jan. 1, 2026, residency date tied to the proposed tax. Those filings indicate his family office, Koop LLC, and his influenza research fund, Flu Lab LLC, no longer list California, while a flying-car venture, One Aero, now lists its primary address in Florida.
Oracle founder Larry Ellison has taken steps that signal a potential pullback from California, though details of a reported $45 million off-market sale of his San Francisco home have not been independently confirmed by major outlets. The New York Post reported the sale and said it would mark the city’s largest real estate transaction of 2025.

These folks aren’t dummies!
Just between the two of them, that would be $16.8 BILLION dollars they would owe Kommiefornia. And they didn’t get to be billionaires by doing stupid things that cost them money…
And they’re not the only ones and companies that are exiting stage right, in this case. You know as well as I do, California will pass the legislation to scrounge every penny they can from every avenue since they are billions in the red, and with the cuts to USAid they’ve lost that government trough they’ve been siphoning off of for years.
Plus the Feds just pulled the funding for the ‘railroad’ to nowhere that is never going to happen, so that’s another $4 billion they can’t scam off of…
Sigh…
In other news, we knew it was going to happen sooner or later, and it looks like we’ll have George Floyd 2.0 shortly in Minnesota… The hue and cry has already started… I’m going with my normal 72 hour rule, even after seeing the videos, because I want to see what ‘else’ is going to come out (or get disappeared)…
A death in the course of legitimate immigration law enforcement is what the left has been dreaming of. Frey and Walz have both issued inflammatory statements and all the usual suspects are lining up to do what they always do. If I had the misfortune to live in Minnesota and particularly in Minneapolis/St. Paul, I would make every effort to leave. Actually, I would have probably left by now.
In and Out left last year. The woman who owns the company now also said 'enough' to California's BS. She was looking at a half billion dollar charge to stay there. They also fined her for standing up to the state during the whole Covid BS and saying 'no' to their 'rules'. (turns out she's got a bigger set than any of the male billionaire execs in California and she was just a teenage at the time!).
She took the whole business to Tennessee.
