whoa there. corporations have the right to move to the best location for them. California does not have the eternal right to OpenAI's taxes and employee base. think about what you're implicitly assuming here. if one company simply leaving causes concerning "damage" then perhaps it is the government that is the problem, not the corporation driving economic growth.
Also, having a right to do something does not contradict a description of you leveraging power by using a threat of doing it, in the first place.
Sure. Whatever. The people who own and work at OpenAI have no obligation to remain in California.
(I’d also argue that global norms are currently walking back from the notion of natural rights pretty much everywhere except for in some parts of Europe. The concept doesn’t work without an appeal to divinity.)
ehh....

If they do this to people, i am sure they can to corps too
Today, though, one can reasonably argue that megacorps have managed to successfully capture the most powerful government on Earth.
