Elon Musk may be one of the richest people in the world but he's not THAT central to Austin's economy. Remember that our economy was booming way before Tesla moved its HQ here. And if Tesla happened to disappear tomorrow for whatever reason, we would continue to do quite well.

That's actually one of the nice things about Austin's economy and what makes it healthy and resilient: it doesn't revolve around a single employer like the economies of a lot of cities.
