Musk said the new facility is "effectively a headquarters of Tesla" and that it's "kind of a dual-headquartered company." "This was HP's original headquarters, and so I think it's a poetic transition from the founders of Silicon Valley to Tesla and we're very excited to make this our global engineering headquarters," Musk told CNBC. Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his staff met Wednesday with California Governor Gavin Newsom to tour Tesla's new engineering headquarters. As the pandemic hit in March 2020, Musk and state officials clashed over reopening the Tesla plant in Fremont, California.
