Elon Musk says SpaceX and X headquarters moving to Texas, blames California trans student privacy law
"my kid is trans and won't talk to me because I'm a huge piece of shit, waah".
That's the reason he's doing this.
You think the guy who has a fake account which posts as if it was a loser pretending to be Elon for attention has that much self reflection?
Are you sure it isn't the gullible church goers that'll believe he's a strong Christian man that fornicates with children cause Satan is tempting him.
His trans daughter hates him so much that she not only officially changed her surname from Musk in court, she had it put into the court record that she disowns him. That's not even a law thing, she just wanted it officially noted.
Imagine what sort of absolutely horrific father he must be to disown one of the world's richest men? She could have kept her mouth shut, waited for him to die, and hoped she got some money out of it, but he's that terrible.
Please host the Twitter servers in Texas. It would be nice for the internet to improve each day the poorly managed Texas power grid dies.
Please host the Twitter servers in Texas
Can't do that with porn being so heavily restricted in Texas..
k bye
Alternate title: "Billionaire that doesn’t contribute anything to the local community threatens to go away"
It’s the same as people saying we shouldn’t raise taxes for the ultra rich because they will go away, as if they didn’t benefit from the tax paid services for free
Fuck off shit bag, we're full
He should move back to South Africa, but I assume he doesn't like it that much anymore since they officially abolished apartheid
He'd probably do okay. It's still one of, if not the most unequal countries on the planet and it's far more corrupt than the U.S.

Can’t roll my eyes any harder or they would pop out of my head.
He is such a creep about trans people
one of his estranged kids is trans so it's personally motivated bigotry for him
I know, also Grimes dating Chelsea Manning right after they broke up (I feel bad Chelsea Manning got involved in anyone this, she is too good for these people)
He's just so creepy and weird about it though.
Is he going to see his kid's genitals? No, right? So why does it matter? Why do the genitals of students matter to him?
While donating a shit ton of money monthly to a pedophile rapist.
Not for Elon. It's weird what half a billion dollars can do.
You mean he doesn't sleep on people's couches anymore like he says? He actually lives the life of a billionaire with too much privilege?
"Oversexed oligarch with mental capabilities of a toddler on cocaine unwilling to admit to world how horrible of a businessman he is, grabs ball, runs away crying, blaming Trans community for his woes."
I ALSO would move MY Business if I wasn't allowed to Talk About Children's Genitals! Also DRAG QUEENS are Perverts (but I NEED to be able to Discuss 5 year olds Genitals!)!
Bro apparently needs a /s lmao. Guys are yall stupid?
K. Your ignorance on the subject is showing. Please educate yourself and then come back to the discussion.
Have you considered the comment not being serious but highlighting the absurdity of antitrans folks being so incredibly focused on young peoples genitals while decrying others as perverted for wearing clothes that differ from their own?
Can someone explain this to me. What does student policy have to do with space or online posts?
It doesn't, Texas is probably better for taxes. He's just being a bigot to "own the libs" or whatever the real reason is.
Like most extremely outspoken people with a phobia like this. He's probably a closet wannabe trans.
Actually, the more I think about it, it kinda fits for him/her ...
You know... that does kind of track. Back in the 2010's when the hot topic was gay rights, some of the most zealot anti-gay right wingers... were found to dabble in the very least. And this is some loud stuff that has no direct connection to him, so... yeah.
Even if he is closeted, you should still respect his pronouns. It's still bigotry when you do it, just like when any transphobe does it.
Absolutely nothing.
I really doubt that that’s the actual reason. It’s just convenient to blame trans people.
Imagine if federal agencies weren't allowed to work with businesses that have that kind of political stance... One can dream...
At this point, NASA is kind of fucked if they don't have SpaceX to rely on.
I hate it.
Imagine if there weren't people wealthy enough to have their own private space programs...and yes, it would be better if oligarchs didn't have the flex to attempt to bend state or national policy to their will.
I hope this move bleeds talent and destroys both companies. I mean, I get that X already probably lost everyone who could get a different job (making people on visas hostages) but this should empty out the last of those who have the ability to leave and haven't done so already.
Living in Hawthorne myself (the place SpaceX is in now) I don't get the sense it's doing the city all that good. I think they get major tax breaks or something, since the area is pretty run down except for it's immediate area. It's fairly industrial / commercial but there's a closed down mall, boarded up shops, etc.
I hope this is a punch in the gut the fools running the city need to start dealing with it's real problems. :/
He's eventually going to move to Russia and try to take all the SpaceX Technology with him.
Export laws would prevent that. He could go to Russia first, but then all of his assets in the US would be frozen.
Wonder how many of the engineers will follow him. Idk if this is true but felt like Twitter was one of the top places / most desirable places to work, you got to solve high scale, highly visible problems to help people communicate along with the standard silicon valley amenities. Now with the musk take over I doubt they're having luck finding the best talent. Will be fun to see it decay over the coming years.
If you're in the country on an H1B you're property of Elon.
ITAR restricts a lot of jobs to American nationals.
Is he paying to move the staff along with? Because Austin is almost as expensive as SF.
Good. Tech workers are a scourge on cities.
a tech worker
He consistently surprises me on how big a piece of shit he is. He could have just said it was because it was a better business environment but he had to go the shitty route and blame trans people.
Lol Texas is currently dealing with armed mobs threatening the repair workers trying to turn power on for their shitty grid that breaks twice a year.
Better business environment lmao.
Short sighted greed isn't better for anyone, including the greedy.
Essentially lower taxes and politicians who are easier to bribe. Considering that Musk is also CEO of a company with big battery production and another one that does some solar panel production, I'm not sure a shitty power grid would be too much of an issue for SpaceX.
