Silicon Valley devs looking for a fresh start? Consider the Texas move—specifically Starbase. The numbers are telling: Tech captured 97.74% of the vote there. You've got a concentrated population of engineers already settled in. It's basically what the tech scene used to look like before it got bloated. Plus, there's real leadership backing innovation—call it what you want, but Elon's running the show down there.

This isn't just about packing up and leaving. It's about how the community actually wins: through mobility (voting with your feet), capital allocation (voting with your wallet), and formal politics (voting on the ballot). It's a triple threat strategy. People aren't complaining anymore—they're relocating. Money follows. Institutions adapt. That's the real market signal.

Nah, the 97.74% for Starbase seems a bit outrageous, feels like data beautification, the real situation isn't that exaggerated.

97.74%? That number is way too outrageous, it feels like some kind of selection bias.

Another wave of Silicon Valley exodus? That's just a nice way of putting it; it's all about seeking profit.

The number 97.74% seems a bit outrageous; something feels off... Is it real?

nah but theoretically speaking, that 97.74% figure... statistically significant or just selection bias? given the historical data on tech clusters, they always consolidate before fragmenting. risk-adjusted returns say starbase is still pre-maturity, empirically speaking

Texas is indeed attracting people, but 97.74% voted for technology... this data seems a bit outrageous, and its authenticity is questionable.

NGL, the Starbase thing is a bit overhyped. 97.74% of votes were for tech, what does that say? It just means those are the only people there. The human capital fleeing Silicon Valley is indeed happening, but calling it a "market signal" is too fancy. Can Elon’s approach really retain people? Or is it just moving somewhere else to continue the internal competition? Wait, can population movement really solve the problem? Or is it just a rich people’s dream? Forget it, I won’t argue anymore. Migration waves will definitely happen. Let’s see who laughs last.

97.74%? How is this data so messed up? It's outrageous, feels a bit manipulated.
