Musk moves SpaceX, cites new California law that 'attacks families'

Taking to his X handle, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday that he is moving the headquarters of both SpaceX and the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to Texas, citing several criticisms he has of California and doing business in San Francisco, Los Angeles Times reported.

Pointing to a new state law that bans teachers from telling families about student gender identity changes, Musk tweeted that he is moving the headquarters of SpaceX from Hawthorne to the company’s launch test site in Texas, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The move would be a blow to Southern California, where SpaceX has helped to anchor a burgeoning space economy, the Los Angeles Times reported.
