California is facing a massive business exodus, and Kevin O’Leary isn’t holding back. The “Shark Tank” star slammed the state’s policies, calling California a “dumpster fire” and San Francisco a “wasteland”. He blamed Governor Gavin Newsom for driving companies away with terrible decisions.
Big names like Chevron are abandoning California for Texas. O’Leary says this proves the state’s leadership has failed. Even the Los Angeles Times admits this is a huge loss.
Newsom gets direct blame for turning California into an economic disaster zone. O’Leary compared the state to Venezuela under his policies. He called out the governor’s lack of business sense and poor execution.
The $20 minimum wage hike is crushing small businesses. Fast food spots and stores are shutting down because they can’t afford it. This isn’t helping workers—it’s killing jobs.
O’Leary refuses to invest in California startups anymore. If he does, he moves them out immediately. Smart businesses are fleeing to states like Tennessee, Texas, and Florida.
San Francisco isn’t even recognizable as America now. Walking its streets feels dangerous and broken. You can’t safely travel one block without worry. This is what bad leadership creates.
Newsom should fix his own state before dreaming of the White House. Everyone sees California’s collapse. Real leaders solve problems, not run from them.
Hardworking Americans know truth when they hear it. O’Leary’s warning echoes across the country: common sense policies create jobs, not disasters.
