Elon Musk to Move SpaceX and X Headquarters from Hawthorne to Texas Citing AB1955

Jul 16, 2024, 07:32 PM

Elon Musk has announced that SpaceX and X, formerly known as Twitter, will relocate their headquarters from Hawthorne, California, to Texas. This decision follows the signing of a new law, AB1955, by California Governor Gavin Newsom, which prohibits schools from notifying parents if their child identifies as transgender. Musk cited this law as the 'final straw' in his decision to move the companies. SpaceX's new headquarters will be in Starbase, Texas, while X's headquarters will move to Austin. Musk's decision reflects ongoing frustration with California's legislative environment, which he believes attacks both families and companies.
