Elon Musk on Tuesday announced that SpaceX headquarters will be moving from California to Texas, after California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed a law which bans schools from notifying parents if their child identifies as transgender.

"This is the final straw," Musk posted on X. "Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas."

Musk later added that he made it clear to Newsom that "laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children."

Newsom passed AB1955 on Monday, which bars schools from informing parents when their child decides to change their gender, effectively stripping parents' rights to know about gender transitions.

Breitbart also notes that a recent Rasmussen poll found that an overwhelming majority of California voters support parental notification policies.
