Elon Musk is dissatisfied with the new law signed by California Mayor Gavin Newsom and decided to move SpaceX and Twitter headquarters to Texas

Elon Musk announced that SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter) will relocate to Texas.

The move would deprive Southern California of a key player in the space economy. SpaceX's presence in the region is important.

Reasons for Elon Musk Leaving California

Musk criticises California's new law on student gender identity.

He believes it negatively impacts families and businesses.

The law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, bans teachers from informing families about students' gender identity changes.

This sparked debates between conservative school boards and LGBTQ+ activists.

SpaceX will move its base from Hawthorne, California, to the Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas. X, currently in San Francisco, will head to Austin. He cited safety concerns in San Francisco.

"This is the final straw," Musk said. He cited previous laws as detrimental to families and companies.

Governor Newsom retweeted an old Trump post criticising Musk, adding: "You bent the knee."

Musk's Feud with California

Musk's tension with California isn't new. Three years ago, Tesla's headquarters moved to Austin due to high living costs and long commutes in Palo Alto.

Space x has been in trouble lately

Musk's move received mixed reactions. Some view it as damaging to California's economy. Others see it as a stand for freedom.

Founded in 2002, SpaceX has strong ties to Los Angeles. Its Hawthorne campus is vital for its operations.

The company's future in Texas is uncertain. Musk's announcement raised questions about the relocation's scope.

Recently, SpaceX faced several challenges. The FAA grounded its Falcon 9 rocket, and former employees sued over alleged workplace issues.
