Will Oakland proper only Stand for MLS?

San Fran or Oakland have their soccer in the form of a 40'ish mile drive.  Same with the NHL.

Oakland is losing the Raiders to Las Vegas.  The Warriors are jumping river from Oakland, making them wade across to get their live glimpse.

And I believe, most especially with the presence of the Giants not 20 miles away, the A's could very easily become anything from the Sacramento A's, to that of Portland or even San Antonio.  If you've read my blog before, you might've scoped my obsession with them becoming the West Coast A's, whether they stay, or spend some times away in the likes of westerly Las Vegas.  Either way, MLB's patience certainly won't be forever, though I'd be in favor of Coliseum renovation.  We're overly wasteful in America, and with these major leagues insisting on their own home to share with nobody else, we all just seem like taxpaying taxfunded asshats.

But I read some chatter about Elon Musk and his Tesla looking into the current stadium site and bringing in some form of pro soccer, no doubt with an eventuality into big time soccer for the Oakland site.

Will Oakland eventually be left with just Major League Soccer...  The Oaks franchise?
