Let’s have a look at the company. Interestingly, Oracle is one of Silicon Valley’s older success stories. Its history dates back to 1977. As a reminder, Oracle moved into its currency headquarters in 1989. It is worth mentioning that, several of its buildings on its campus there are constructed in the shape of a squat cylinder. People should take into account that, it the classic symbol in computer systems design for a database, the product on which the company built its empire.

As stated above, Oracle is not the first tech company that decided to leave the state. For example, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced earlier this month that it will relocate its headquarters from San Jose, California to Houston, Texas. Moreover, data analytics software company Palantir Technologies moved its headquarters to Denver, Colorado from Palo Alto, California earlier this year.

Importantly, Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk also decided to leave California. He moved to Texas. However, his companies still maintain their major operations in California. As a reminder, Larry Elison, Oracle’s co-founder, and chairman serves on Tesla’s board. Interestingly, Elison’s friend is Michael Dell.

Companies not only in the U.S. but other countries as well are looking for favorable conditions. It is not surprising that Oracle, as well as other famous companies, made the decision to leave California and to move to Texas.
