A California employment panel rejected a funding request from Elon Musk’s SpaceX on Friday after the aerospace firm’s billionaire founder defied a San Francisco Bay Area health order and threatened to move the headquarters of his electric car company, Tesla Inc., out of the state.

Their resistance was pivotal, as four of the eight panel members are labor leaders. Five members voted no during Friday’s virtual meeting.
Musk “has a proven track record of enriching himself and his companies instead of being a good corporate partner,” Art Pulaski, the head of the California Labor Federation, and three other labor leaders wrote to the panel Thursday.SpaceX reportedly raised money this year at a roughly $36-billion valuation, so the state funding isn’t pivotal to the closely held company’s future.
Musk also threatened to move Tesla’s operations elsewhere before tweeting that the automaker would flout local authorities and restart production. The blog Electrek
