As we told you yesterday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Dem, pulled the license of a Castle Rock restaurant that DARED to open up for indoor dining on Mother’s Day:

So we found it a little odd that this same governor is now trying to lure Elon Musk, who is pissed at California for not letting him open early, to his state:

We want you here @elonmusk in Colorado, we are the best of all worlds. We’re very pro-business, low taxes, also pro-immigration, pro-LGBT, globally-minded. Bright, smart, motivated ppl love to live here. @Tesla HQ, Cybertruck, gigafactory look no further! @kimbal

Elon, do your homework. This might not be the best state for Tesla’s business:

Hi Jared, Colorado is great! I think your policies make a lot of sense.

He’s also talking to Texas:
