Yuck. He could have just used some lame excuse like lower taxes or less business regulations or whatever and I would have just shrugged and said, eh I guess it makes sense what with the enormous facility they've built down there. But no, he had to make this about politics.

X is an "enthusiast platform"? It's a pro-Putin, right-wing propaganda machine with vestiges of its former "glory."

It's not a smart business move because of the lower taxes and regulatory burdens. Texas is in the bottom 10 states for Quality of Life.

Plenty of other companies are discovering that moving to Texas doesn't work because employees don't want to move there. Nobody wants $1000+ "freedom" electric bills.

Unless they've bought into the whole abusive "trad wife" bs, Texas is legally very misogynistic.

The professional employees at SpaceX can find work at other companies if they don't want to move.

Time for SpaceX to join the list of good companies that Elon has turned into jokes.
