SpaceX CEO and owner Elon Musk announced Tuesday that both companies’ headquarters will be relocated from California to Texas.
Musk had vowed to take such steps after California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, signed a new law that bans school districts in the state from requiring parents to notify them about their child’s gender change. Newsom signed the transgender student bill into law on Monday.
“This has reached the end of its rope. Due to this law and many previous ones that attack both families and businesses, SpaceX will be moving our headquarters from Hawthorne, CA to Starbase, TX,” Musk wrote on Twitter, adding that SpaceX would also be moving its headquarters from San Francisco to Austin.
“I made it very clear to Governor Newsom nearly a year ago that this type of legislation would force families and businesses to leave California to protect our children,” he added.
In 2022, People magazine reported. Elon MuskMusk’s then-18-year-old daughter received permission to legally change her name and gender to Vivian Jenna Wilson, dropping the Musk family name and instead taking her mother’s maiden name, Justine Wilson.
When asked about his estranged transgender daughter in October 2022, Musk said: Financial Times “You can’t win them all,” he said, insisting he has good relationships with the other kids.
Musk also told the Financial Times that his daughter’s decision was driven by “neo-Marxist” elements at the institution.
Musk recently endorsed former President Donald Trump and is reportedly planning to donate $45 million per month to a pro-Trump super PAC called America PAC.
Trump is expected to roll back transgender rights if elected president again this year.

of American Academy of Pediatrics Other major medical organizations, including the American Medical Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the World Health Organization, all “support providing transgender young people with access to necessary health care.”
Newsom fired back at Musk in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, saying “you have caved” and attaching a screenshot of a 2022 Truth Social post in which Trump scolded Musk.
In a 2022 post, Trump wrote, “When Elon Musk came to the White House and asked me for help with a bunch of subsidized projects that were useless without the subsidies — electric cars with low range, self-driving cars that crash, rockets that go nowhere — and told me how he was a huge Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘Get on your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it.”
In 2021, Musk said: Teslarelocated the automaker’s headquarters from Palo Alto, California, to Austin.
SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for more information, including whether the company might close its Hawthorne operations.
Tesla maintained its Palo Alto office as its “engineering headquarters” after moving its headquarters to Texas. Tesla expanded its operations at the location and held a press conference with Governor Newsom in February 2023.
