Elon Musk moves SpaceX and X to Texas to protest transgender law in California

Elon Musk announced on X that he will move the headquarters of the aerospace company SpaceX and the social network X, the former Twitter, to Texas to protest against the passing of a transgender student law, enacted in California in recent hours.

Musk recently took several Republican Party positions on immigration, diversity and education. "This is the last straw," the South African-born entrepreneur wrote, justifying his decision by the passage of this text "and many others that have preceded it" that "attack families and businesses."

The law, signed by the governor of California Gavin Newsom , aims to protect the rights of transgender students and combat discrimination.

In particular, it prohibits school staff from disclosing information about a pupil's sexual orientation or gender identity to anyone without the prior consent of the person concerned. This prohibition also applies to the pupil's parents. Currently SpaceX is based in Hawthorne, Los Angeles County, and X in San Francisco.

On the subject of the move of Twitter's headquarters, which is based on Market Street, an area of San Francisco definitely taken by storm by the many homeless people living in the Californian city, Musk added: 'I've had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building'. An exasperation now common among several CEOs of San Francisco-based companies.
