Depends who you ask. I'm sure Jo Swinson would have a thing or two to say about that!
I have as much chance of winning the GE with a clear mandate .......They're the one party with a very clear remain policy. Labour are unelectable. It's a scary possibility in my opinion.

He could also locate a factory in the UK, once sales have hit a certain point. “It seems like a logical thing to do in the long-term to have a factory in the UK,” Musk said. That would come after the company establishes a production plant in continental Europe he said. However neither will happen until sales surpass 160,000 in Europe, according to Musk."

“Brexit made it too risky to put a Gigafactory in the UK,” Mr Musk said, referring to Tesla’s new battery and electric vehicle plant.
He could have Dyson’s no longer required R&D site cheap too. Funny how Dyson was allowed to change his mind about brexit Britain being the right answer for his business. Everyone else is stuck with it while he decamps elsewhere.

Talking of being elsewhere, I notice your reluctance to answering who your MP is and are you based in the UK. Any particular reason for that DP?

Doesn't the quote above say that he would build a factory in the UK after he built a production plant in continental Europe (ie. not in the UK)?

Dyson is expanding its UK R&D site and employee count, where do you get the info from that it's no longer needed?“Brexit made it too risky to put a Gigafactory in the UK,” Mr Musk said, referring to Tesla’s new battery and electric vehicle plant.

Its going to be interesting to see how Musk gets on with the German labour unions, his hire and fire USA regime wont wash in Germany.
Yep, there are no successful engineering companies in Germany. 
It’s not going to be interesting watch Musk create thousands of jobs in Germany.
It’s going to be sad that they aren’t in the UK.
All down to the Brexit vote.

You cant be this thick, surely.No response to the Dyson question then?
The Dyson reference was obviously a joke about the cancellation of "Brexit is best for UK" Dyson's electric car project supporting 500 jobs - jobs which may or may not have been reallocated within Dyson etc. Of course Musk would not adopt the actual R&D site - it was not intended to be taken literally.
It's interesting how some Brexiters are happy to hang on every word literally when it suits an argument.
But when Musk "drops plans" to invest hugely in the UK because of brexit, there is much scratching around for semantic excuses as to why "drops plans" actually means "he was never going to do it anyway".
Musk moving into Dyson's theoretically empty shed = joke
Musk saying he will not invest in UK due to Brexit = reality
Interesting analysis of the deal.

Yes. Going so well up to the 48 min mark where he ranted about smears and lies and whatnot. As an academic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljToxQi6nVo&fe...

His parody on the Lisbon treaty at 1:07 rings true.
His assessment of the deal and what may happen is perhaps what WTOers want to hear.

///ajd quite often used to do the same, it's no surprise his nom de plume follows suit.
