Taxes screw over both the companies and the states they’re in.
Taxes didn’t build those big companies. They show up after the success. They sure as hell didn’t create Silicon Valley.
The sky-high taxes came later, once it was already killing it.
California basically turned its successful companies into hosts and started parasitically draining them for more and more cash, jacking up the rates year after year.
They forget the first rule of parasitism: don’t kill the host.
Companies only have so much tolerance before they say screw it and bail for another state with better deals and resources.
And that breaking point is a lot lower these days.

Just spent a full coding session with Grok Build and honestly? It's right there with Claude.
The model is sharp, the agentic flow holds up on complex tasks, and it has actual personality.
Few rough edges on the UX side (sent detailed feedback to the team), but the core is genuinely impressive.

Grok foundation model V9-Medium (1.5T) has finished training. Evals look good. A lot of Cursor data was added in supplementary training and there is more to come.
Fine-tuning is underway and reinforcement learning begins in a few days. 2 to 3 weeks to public release.
This will be a major improvement over the 0.5T v8-small that currently serves all Grok production traffic, especially for difficult coding tasks.
