SpaceX and X Headquarters Moving to Texas

Elon Musk announced the relocation of SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter) headquarters from California to Texas, citing a new California law that prevents schools from notifying parents about their children's gender identity changes as the 'final straw'. This move follows his previous relocation of Tesla's headquarters to Texas in 2021. Rival space startups, like Latitude and AstroForge, are trying to recruit discontented SpaceX employees by offering attractive relocation packages and inclusive work environments. The relocation underscores Musk's growing alignment with right-wing politics and dissatisfaction with California's regulations. Texas Governor Greg Abbott praised the move, highlighting Texas as a favorable business climate. Musk has also moved his residence to Texas, which has no state income tax.
