# Billionaire Exodus from California: Sergey Brin Follows Larry Page Out the Door—What It Means for 2A Patriots

In a move that’s got California’s progressive overlords sweating, Google co-founder Sergey Brin is quietly restructuring multiple business entities in the Golden State, mirroring the playbook his partner-in-crime Larry Page used to dodge the taxman’s grasp. As reported, this comes just ahead of a November ballot initiative pushing a wealth tax that would sock billionaires with an eye-watering 1.0% annual levy on net worth over $50 million, plus 1.5% above $1 billion—potentially raking in $20 billion yearly for pet projects like universal healthcare and climate boondoggles. Brin, worth north of $130 billion, isn’t sticking around to fund Sacramento’s fantasies; he’s joining Page (who decamped to low-tax havens like Florida and Texas) and a parade of tycoons fleeing the state. Elon Musk already bolted Tesla and SpaceX HQs to Texas, citing regulatory hell and sky-high taxes. California’s losing its golden geese, one private jet at a time.

But here’s the pro-2A angle you won’t see in the mainstream spin: this isn’t just about wallets—it’s a masterclass in voting with your feet against a government bloated on control. California, the epicenter of gun-grabbery, has morphed into a dystopian lab for wealth redistribution and rights erosion. Think assault weapon bans, mag limits, red-flag laws on steroids, and a rogue DOJ suing ammo makers into oblivion. Brin and Page, no strangers to innovation, are innovating their tax strategies because staying means subsidizing the very machine that treats self-defense as a privilege for the poors. Their exit signals a tipping point: when even Silicon Valley titans bail, it exposes the fragility of blue-state utopias built on confiscation. Data backs it—California’s population shrank by 75,000 net last year, with high earners leading the charge to red-friendly states like Texas (hello, no state income tax) and Florida (constitutional carry paradise).

For the 2A community, the implications are electric: as California’s revenue base evaporates, expect Sacramento to double down on federal begging and domestic shakedowns—more equity fees that could morph into gun registries or public safety surtaxes on firearms owners. Meanwhile, exodus states are booming with pro-2A policies, attracting freedom-loving entrepreneurs who bring jobs, innovation, and yes, Second Amendment muscle. Brin’s bolt is a wake-up call: protect your mobility, your assets, and your rights. If billionaires can redraw their maps to escape tyranny, so can you—before the wealth tax evolves into a rights tax. Time to vote with your U-Haul, patriots. What’s your escape plan?
