Because schools cannot forcibly out students to their parents SpaceX is now incapable of working there? Seems like there's something else going on.

He has a BS cult of personality like trump. And has learned he can distract from his real scandals by causing an overload of stupid shenanigans. That will capture the media focus. And keep it from where it should be.
In the UK we call it a dead cat strategy.
There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, ‘Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!’ In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.[1]

Bullshit.
He just threw down big support for trump, he knows trump cant win CA so this could be a ploy to help him in TX.

Additionally, musks good friend Ken Griffin of Citadel Securities alongside Blackrock are opening a rival to NYSE in (you guessed it) Texas. Whether or not its related, idk.
Believe me when I say that it is not to help Trump win Texas. I've lived here for over 40 years, and for the last 25, I have kept hearing how this is a "purple state" and "it's gonna be a swing state soon".
It's not.
It's not, it never has been, it never will be, and it's never been worse here. Which is why I'm leaving this hellhole once and for all next week with my cat, and I ain't never looking back.

Yeah, his daughter is trans and publicly disowned him. The dude has basically quadrupled down on his transphobia ever since just to prove how totally not butthurt he is over this.

Remember when Elon moved Tesla Engineering to Texas, then moved it back to California since he couldn't get enough people to work in Texas?
Tesla Will Move Its Headquarters to Austin, Texas, in Blow to California - Oct, 2021
Tesla Shifts Its Engineering Headquarters Back To California - Feb. 2023

When asked about his estranged transgender daughter in October 2022, Musk told the Financial Times “Can’t win them all,”
The guy is just an absolute monster. I think this much of a wealth gap for one person would bring out the worst in anyone. His worst is just really really bad. Never click on X links people please. It's a small thing, but it's the right thing.

The kind of decision making others feel worthy of an over 50 billion pay package.
Fuck Elon, and fuck the board too. Never buying one with him involved.

I feel bad for the reasonable employees at SpaceX - this sucks for decent people.
I don't. Look, we already had this discussion years ago. You don't feel bad for the stormtrooper, or their families when you blow up the deathstar. They knew what they were getting into.
I’m sure there are plenty of people who started at SpaceX before we all truly knew the monster musk is. Also, the work they are doing is incredibly important. It’s hard to give that up. It shouldn’t be this hard to empathize with people

But they didn't. The guy had me in the first half when he cried because Buzz Aldrin didn't like him. Elon wasn't always so obvious with his bullshit. There was a time when he looked minted as a purveyor of a bright future - the mask slipped.
The mask has been off for at least 8 years.
No sympathy for anyone who still stans that phony.
When did he call that rescuer a "pedo"? Because that's when I changed my mind on him forever.
Edit: It was June 2018.

Maybe 5 years ago. They've had plenty of time to see reason and jump ship to anyone else. Elon hasn't exactly been quiet with his escapades...

Oh look... Apartheid-boy is moving his company to a more overtly white supremacist location and blaming his daughter for it.
I am so surprised.
He wanted to go Texas for the taxes for quite some time now. All he needed was a lame excuse to blame his own cheap decision on someone else.

I hate this clown
That's insulting to clowns.
Right, sorry
I can't believe reddit used to love this dude.
I actually used to admire this guy, based on the image he had created for himself (self-educated in rocket science, which I highly doubt) but the Thai cave incident and calling one of the divers pedo, opened my eyes.

There was that moment it time when he was the underdog doing cool stuff. It seemed like he couldn't screw up, because his companies were hitting the ball out of the park one after the other.
Then the pedo guy debacle taught us who he really is.

All media gave him free uncritical publicity for decades. They inflated his ego, branded him as a genius and built him a legion of fanatics. Now the media see the monster they created, but it is too late to undo :/
PS: I just noticed this is the tech community...why is this posted here?

How completely insecure must you be that you're so afraid of trans people that you move entire factories to other states? That's the noise of a fragile man baby.
Usually you move factories for tax breaks. You can say whatever you want for the reason, though this reason just makes him seem stupid and hateful.

I know that this is vile and sick and cruel but goddamn, that headline is so fucking batshit stupid I laughed out loud.
What a colossal dipshit.
No way that's the real reason, the real reason is taxes. So many California millionaires move to Texas for the low tax, only to realize once they're there that it's a shitty state with a barely-functioning power grid. Unfortunately it never seems to click for most of them that the low taxes is a big part of why they don't have a competent state government.

"We have to move a rocket company because of trans highschool kids" wtf
He's literally evil towards his daughter. He said "can't win them all" when asked about her. Wtf.
How fun would it be if the next Texas power grid failure manages to cause serious damage to Apartheid-Baby's pet project?
This is hilarious. With the Texas electrical system, there's going to be days when they cant operate.
My company cancelled opening up a campus there because of that issue!

... What? The final straw was .. not having 100% up-to-date information on the gender expression of every child in the state?
The fuck?
There are a million reasons to move out of California but there are a million reasons to not go to Texas.
I think this works better when the numbers are not equal:
There are a thousand reasons to move out of California but there are a million reasons to not go to Texas.

Imagine there are still people chilling for this Nazi piece of shit.
And I don't use that word lightly. He has done enough to be getting this label.

If SpaceX moves, and it's worker's are unwilling/unable to move; does that grant them severance?
I'd take that out.

If they can keep the power on, I am sure this will work out great for you.
