The blue-state mass exodus continues as Yamaha Motor Co. prepares to move its headquarters to Southern pastures.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced that Yamaha will relocate to Kennesaw over the next several years, after being headquartered in Cypress, California, since 1979.
“After many years of great partnership, we are honored and proud to welcome Yamaha’s American headquarters to the No. 1 state for business,” Kemp said in a statement.
“This is another loud and clear testament to what we offer job creators from around the world. To any other California-based companies looking for a better home, we’ll give you plenty of reasons to keep Georgia on your mind.”
Yamaha already currently employs over 2,300 people in Georgia and said the headquarters relocation is “aimed at improving the profitability of its U.S. operations in response to cost increases resulting from U.S. tariffs and changes in the market environment,” CBS reported.
Plenty of X users weighed in on Yamaha’s announcement and slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democrat policies as the California gubernatorial and mayoral races heat up:
The high cost of doing business in California. The high taxes and fees, as well as all the red tape to even do business in CA. California is NOT business friendly, but then most socialist policies are.

First In-N-Out, then Chevron, then Hollywood, now Yamaha? Bet Disneyland closes in five years if they don’t turn that mess around.

Please vote for Steve Hilton for governor! He will end the destruction of California. Bianco is a RINO who took a knee for BLM and cried over George Floyd. He’s a Democrat and will do whatever they want. No more Democrats in California. They’ve done enough damage.
