Petronis Said He Would Introduce Musk To The State's Business Development Department And Help Him "find The Perfect Place To Start Moving Twitter Headquarters To Florida". Local Officials Also Joined In. Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry Last Week Called On Musk To Move Twitter's Headquarters To The City.
But De Santis Said On Monday: "bringing In Some Technology Companies From San Francisco Is Not Our First Choice." He Said That When Technology Companies Such As Twitter Move, They Will Push Up The Cost Of Living Of Existing Residents, And Florida Will Focus On Attracting Industrial And Manufacturing Enterprises.
"I'm Very Supportive Of What Elon Musk Is Doing. I Have No Doubt That He Will Make The Company More Valuable, But I Don't Want To Bring It To Florida," De Santis Said
