Elon Musk Plans to Move SpaceX from CA to TX After Newsom Signs New Law Protecting Trans Students
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced plans to move the headquarters
of X and Space X out of California and relocate to Texas over a new
California state law that protects the rights of transgender students.
The law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom this week, bans schools from
forcing educators to notify parents of their child's sexual orientation,
gender identity or gender expression without the student's consent. This
includes students asking to use a different name or pronouns. Musk, who
has an estranged trans daughter, said on X, "This is the final straw."
