American billionaire Elon Musk announced on Tuesday that he will move the headquarters of SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter) out of California. This decision follows Governor Gavin Newsom’s signing of a bill banning school rules requiring staff to disclose children’s gender identity changes to their parents.
“This is the final straw,” Musk wrote on his platform X. “Because of this law and others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.” He also announced that X would move from San Francisco to Austin, Texas.
Musk mentioned that he had warned Governor Newsom about the potential impact of such laws on families and businesses. The new law makes California the first U.S. state to bar school districts from requiring staff to notify families about a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation without the child’s permission.
