Elon Musk said he would move SpaceX and X out of California because of new legislation signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“Gavin Newsom signed AB1955 today which bans schools from making rules requiring parental notification if a child identifies as transgender,” Libs of TikTok wrote.

From the Associated Press:

California became the first U.S. state to bar school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child’s gender identification change under a law signed Monday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The law bans school rules requiring teachers and other staff to disclose a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation to any other person without the child’s permission. Proponents of the legislation say it will help protect LGBTQ+ students who live in unwelcoming households. But opponents say it will hinder schools’ ability to be more transparent with parents.

The legislation comes amid a nationwide debate over local school districts and the rights of parents and LGBTQ+ students.

“This law helps keep children safe while protecting the critical role of parents,” Brandon Richards, a spokesperson for Newsom, said in a statement. “It protects the child-parent relationship by preventing politicians and school staff from inappropriately intervening in family matters and attempting to control if, when, and how families have deeply personal conversations.”

“This is 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,” Elon 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,” he added.

“And 𝕏 HQ will move to Austin,” Musk said.

“Have had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building,” he added.

Per Fortune:

SpaceX’s headquarters are currently located in Hawthorne, California, but the company has been building out a large facility in South Texas dubbed Starbase over the last few years. The site in Boca Chica is the primary location where SpaceX builds and launches its massive Starship rocket system.

SpaceX recently added a massive warehouse factory at Starbase known as the Starfactory, which replaced many of the site’s production tents.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in an X post that the move “cements Texas as the leader in space exploration.”

Musk’s announcement comes after the company earlier this year moved its business incorporation to Texas from Delaware. Musk also switched many of his companies incorporation over frustration with a judge’s decision to void his pay package as CEO of Tesla Inc.

Musk also said Tuesday that X’s headquarters will move to Austin.

In December 2021, Musk moved Tesla’s headquarters from California to Austin amid frustration with pandemic lockdowns. But Tesla still has a sizable presence in the Golden State, with an engineering headquarters in Palo Alto.
