Elon Musk to move SpaceX and X headquarters out of California to Texas: ‘This is the last straw’

Elon Musk said he will move the headquarters of his rocket firm SpaceX and social media platform X out of California to Texas. Citing the new Californian state law which bans schools from requiring staff to disclose information about a child’s gender identity including to parents, the billionaire wrote on X, “This is the last straw.” Elon Musk had already moved Tesla’s headquarters to Texas in 2021.

He added, “Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.”
