Elon Musk has announced that he is relocating his firms out of California.

Musk said the SAFETY Act, a bill signed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom that prohibits school districts from mandating instructors to notify parents if a child wishes to be labeled as 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 told X.
In 2022, one of Elon’s daughters asked a California court to accept her new name and gender, claiming she no longer wanted to be related to her famous and affluent father “in any way, shape or form.” Musk has faced criticism for several of his statements on X addressing gender identification issues.
In a follow-up tweet, Elonstated that he was tired of the violent criminality surrounding the building where X is located in San Francisco.

Elon has been drawn to Texas for several years. SpaceX moved to relocate its corporate incorporation from Delaware to Texas in February following a Delaware state judge’s ruling that Elon’s 2018 Tesla pay package was exorbitant, siding with a shareholder who challenged it.
Elon announced 2021 that Tesla would relocate its headquarters from the Bay Area to Austin, Texas. In December 2020,Elon announced that he had relocated to Texas.
