Elon Musk announced on social media that he will be moving the headquarters to his companies X and SpaceX out of California after state Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law that prohibits school districts from informing parents if their children decide to go by a different gender.

“This is the final straw,” Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “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 added, “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.”
.....
Musk said that relocating the company to Texas would be a relief not just because of the law Newsom signed but also because of the increase in violence in San Francisco.

“Have had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building,” Musk said in reference to X headquarters in San Francisco.

Because he was hopping for things to get better but they only got worse, so he left.
He said "This is the final straw"...
Too much is too much.
CALIFORNIA DREAMING has turned to CALIFORNIA NIGHTMARE. :thumbdown:

I think its some kind mid-life crisis, look at the wonders he did turning Twitter around. It will be history all too soon. And sales for Tesla plummeting after the "triangle truck" fiasco, the Edsel of 2024. (Edsels and AMC Pacers/Gremlins dont seem so bad now, huh?) Moving to Texas, out of the frying pan, into the fire for SpaceX..... Next corporate acquisition, he buys out the pillow guy....
