"I'm not surprised... he has his Tesla headquarters [in Austin], he moved from California to [Texas]," Alex Balderas, owner of the SpaceX Boca Chica Facebook group, said. "He's helped the Valley as well, with also bringing local jobs to here too."
Musk says the final straw was a new law signed in California on Monday that bans school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child's gender identification.
Minutes after the first announcement, Musk also said he's moving his X platform to Austin.
