    EXCERPT:

    ABBOTT: “Texas really is the home of tech. So, I made a deal with Elon Musk back in 2020 to accelerate the process of building a mile-long gigafactory. Elon liked so much the way we do business in Texas, he moved all of his companies to the state of Texas, all of which are heavily tech-oriented. Same thing is happening with Meta right now. Listen, I talked to Mark Zuckerberg, and listen, they’re very interested in expanding their operations in the state of Texas. In addition to that, last session I signed into law business courts in the state of Texas that are now rivaling, actually an improvement upon the business courts in Delaware. And what Elon Musk and Zuckerberg and others have found out, Delaware courts have kind of gone woke and escaped their mission. Texas, however, is going to be pure business courts, and they know that they can come to Texas and have the type of decisions coming from courts that are very thoughtful as opposed to ideological.”
