Elon Musk says he’s moving his companies out of California.
In two posts on X Tuesday, the billionaire said he will move SpaceX’s HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas, a company town being built in the southern part of the state. Social media platform X will move from San Francisco to Austin, Texas, he then said.
Musk said that the SAFETY Act, a law California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed that would prohibit school districts from requiring teachers to inform parents if a child wants to be identified by a different gender, was “the final straw.”
“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,” Musk posted on X.
One of Musk’s children petitioned a California court in 2022 to recognize her new name and gender, saying she no longer wished to be related to her famous and wealthy father “in any way, shape or form.” Musk has been criticized for some of his statements on X regarding gender identity issues.
