Elon Musk announced Tuesday he’s moving X’s headquarters from San Francisco to Austin, Texas.
The tech billionaire, who bought the social-media platform then known as Twitter for $44 billion in late 2022, said in a post on X that the move was partially in response to Gov. Gavin Newsom signing a bill that bars school districts from informing parents of their children’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression without the child’s consent.
In an emailed statement, Newsom communications director Alex Stack argued that while the bill protects students from “forced outings” of their sexuality or gender identity, state law still requires parental consent for minors to legally change their names or gender identity and guarantees parents access to their kids’ education records.
Representatives for Ward, co-author Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco and Gov. Newsom did not respond to requests for comment. A representative for Mayor London Breed also did not respond to a request for comment. Musk has a transgender daughter named Jenna Wilson, from whom he is reportedly estranged. He reportedly found out about her transition not from Wilson, but from someone else. Wilson’s transition and adoption of Marxist views helped prompt his widely publicized move to embrace right-wing viewpoints, according to Walter Isaacson’s biography of him.
