Elon Musk to Move SpaceX, X HQs from California to Texas

On Tuesday, SpaceX, Tesla, and X CEO Elon Musk said that he will move the headquarters of SpaceX and social media company X to Texas.

Musk posted on X Tuesday that he is planning on moving SpaceX from Hawthorne, California to the SpaceX rocket launch site in Texas. X will move to Austin from San Francisco.

He called that the new law signed Monday by California Gov. Gavin Newsom that related to child’s gender identification is the “final straw.”

Musk said: “I did make it clear to Governor Newsom about a year ago that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children."

Previously, Musk moved its Tesla headquarters to Austin from Palo Alto, California in 2021.

He also said that he has moved his residence from California to Texas, where there is no state personal income tax.
