SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Elon Musk is making headlines around the world and California is back in the spotlight.
Musk in a tweet that he plans to move the headquarters of X and SpaceX from California to Texas.
In his tweet about it, he referred to California Governor Gavin Newsom, who signed a law requiring school workers to identify parents if their child changes the gender they identify with.
Elon Musk tweeted on Tuesday: “This is the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Because of this law and many others that preceded it, which target families and businesses, SpaceX will now move its headquarters from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas. And X, its headquarters, will move it to Austin.

“What we want to be very transparent here is not to overinterpret this, right? He said he was going to move his headquarters. It is an absolutely different verbal exchange than moving the lock, the shares and the barrel of the company from California to Texas, which that “Frankly, I don’t think I have any interest in doing it. “
That of Christopher Thornberg, who runs a California-based consulting company called Beacon Economics. He says moving a major like this out of state would likely result in the loss of dozens of jobs, if not a few hundred, if not thousands of jobs.
“Will he make things happen here? Will he change things for the better? Will he hammer our economy and make us disappear into a third global nation? No, only Elon is Elon,” Thornberg says.
Musk later also tweeted about X’s San Francisco headquarters: “I’m tired of dodging violent drug gangs to get in and out of the building. “

While the community may not be perfect, we didn’t see it at the front door of the X on Tuesday.
When asked about the scenario on ABC7 News at 3 p. m. m. , San Francisco Mayor London Breed communicated in particular about Elon Musk and only said this:
“I’m just from the domain where Twitter is or it’s almost empty. Painters even go back to painting in construction and that’s part of the problem. “
Governor Newsom’s press went after X went after Musk made the announcement comparing California to Texas, saying, “The last time Elon Musk moved his headquarters, Tesla ended up expanding to California, even moving its global engineering and AI headquarters to California because of global diversity. outstanding talents. “
Some, however, still wonder if Musk will continue with his action. A spokesperson for real estate advertising firm JLL would say only: “JLL was contracted to sublease X’s surplus area at 1355 Market and the adjacent One Tenth Street building. ” There is no information about the existing area of X.
