Elon Musk announced that he will move SpaceX’s headquarters from California to Starbase in Texas. This is a town, or rather a complex, that the company has been building for almost 15 years. Meanwhile, X’s headquarters will be located in Austin, the state capital of Texas, instead of San Francisco, as before. In February 2024, the actual headquarters of the company remained Hawthorne, California.
Elon Musk Moves Headquarters, Clashes with California Over Transgender Students
Elon Musk made the decision to move his headquarters after California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the SAFETY Act. This law prohibits teachers from informing parents that a student identifies as transgender. “A lot of families and businesses are going to move out of California because of this law. Who wants to risk the government taking their children away?” –
“Because of this bill and the many others that preceded it that targeted both families and businesses, SpaceX will now move its headquarters from Hawthorne, California to Starbase, Texas,” Musk wrote. In a follow-up post, he added that X will move to Austin. “I’m tired of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of my building,” the billionaire commented on his own post.

This is not the first time Elon Musk has moved companies
Elon Musk has been announcing similar moves for years. The reason was the covid restrictions. In 2021, he partially succeeded and Tesla’s headquarters is currently located in Austin. At the same time, however, the company was officially registered in Delaware.
He even did a poll back then asking, “Should Tesla change its headquarters to Texas, where its physical headquarters is located?” 87.1 percent of voters supported the idea.
