Texas Gov. Greg Abbott told CNBC on Friday that the number of companies deciding to move their headquarters to the Lone Star State has accelerated due in part to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Republican governor’s comments came shortly after it was reported that software giant Oracle is moving its corporate center from Redwood City, California, in Silicon Valley to Austin, Texas. Hewlett Packard Enterprise also said earlier this month it is moving its headquarters to Houston from San Jose, California. Earlier this fall, real estate giant CBRE officially shifted its HQ from Los Angeles to Dallas.

“I have been on the phone on a weekly basis with CEOs across the country, and it’s not just California,” Abbott said on “Fast Money,” referencing his meeting last month with officials from the Nasdaq. “We’re working across the board because the times of Covid have exposed a lot. They’ve exposed … that you really don’t have to be in Manhattan, for example, in order to be involved in the trading business or the investment business.”

In addition to the pandemic demonstrating the feasibility of more widespread remote work, Abbott said there are other characteristics attracting companies to Texas. “Cost of business means a lot. No income tax means a lot, but also the freedom to operate without the heavy hand of regulation means a lot,” he said.

“This has turned into an absolute tidal wave,” Abbott added, while noting many companies such as Oracle already had a presence in Texas before their official announcements. “They are looking for a state that gives them the independence, the autonomy and the freedom to chart their own course.”

Abbott also pointed to Texas’ relationship with Elon Musk, the chief executive of electric-vehicle maker Tesla and SpaceX, as evidence of the state’s growing appeal to business leaders.

Musk has personally moved from California to Texas, and earlier this year, Tesla announced it had chosen a site near Austin to build its next U.S. factory. SpaceX also has a growing facility in Boca Chica, Texas, along the Gulf Coast. “Elon is elated to be here,” Abbott said, adding the two men “talk on virtually a weekly basis.”

(19 Jan 1999) English/Nat
The son of the former U-S President George Bush was sworn in for second four year term on Tuesday.
George W. Bush fleshed out the themes of a possible presidential campaign in his inaugural address that preached the value of racialdiversity and urged people, young and old alike, “to draw a clear line between right and wrong.”
Although Bush is a front-runner among prospective Republican presidential candidates, he made no mention of President Clinton or his impeachment trial.
George W. Bush was sworn in for a second time shortly after noon in a tradition-laden ceremony on the Capitol’s south steps.
His father, former President George Bush, mother Barbara, and other family members shared a red-, white- and blue-striped stage outside the pink granite capitol building.
They watched proudly on as the ceremony unfolded.
Bush won re-election in November with a staggering 69 percent of the vote.
He leads a state government that’s dominated almost entirely by Republicans for the first time since Reconstruction.
This level of support has led many Republicans to see him as the most likely man to take on the Democrats in the next presidential race in the year 2000.
Even though the Senate began hearing from the President Bill Clinton’s lawyers in Washington, he did not mention President Bill Clinton directly,
But he did say the state needs to be open, educated, diverse and united by common values.
SOUNDBITE:
“So I’m optimistic our children’s lives will continue to improve in material terms. The risk is that their moral and spiritual lives will not improve. You see, the strength of a society should not be measured in the wealth it accumulates, or the technology it develops. The strength of a society should be measured in the value people share.”
SUPER CAPTION: George W. Bush, Governor of Texas
Bush, who says he claimed a record portion of the state’s growing Hispanic vote, voiced hope that the state will unify and celebrate its diverse cultures.
He spoke in both English and Spanish during his address.
Bush also used the speech to revisit his theme of compassionate conservatism.
SOUNDBITE:
“Our children should also be educated in the values of society. We must teach them that there are right choices in life and wrong choices in life. Some people think it’s inappropriate to make moral judgements anymore. Not me,”
SUPER CAPTION: George W. Bush, Governor of Texas
The address signalled Bush’s intention to walk a political tightrope in the 2000 campaign.
If he decides to run, Bush will court conservative voters who control presidential primaries while fashioning a kinder, gentler message for mainstream Americans.
