Recently, Musk has taken a more active role in US politics, officially endorsing Donald Trump for president. However, Musk denied the Wall Street Journal’s claim that he would contribute $45 million per month to the Trump campaign, stating that the reports were inaccurate.
While announcing the decision to move X from San Francisco to Austin, Musk also addressed security issues in the city. California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Musk’s decision, highlighting the potential economic problems this move could cause for the region.
States often compete to attract company headquarters, and Musk’s decision positions Texas as a leader in space research. Representatives from SpaceX and X have yet to comment on how the move will impact the workforce in California.
