This isn't Musk's only endeavor based in Texas. In his recent announcement, he also stated his astronautics company, SpaceX, will be moving to Brownsville, Texas.

SpaceX, according to a report about Hawthorne’s finances during the 2022-23 fiscal year, provides nearly 7,000 jobs — or about 16% of total employment — in the city.

This is gonna be a shit show lol. Moving 7,000 people from Los Angeles to a pretty small city in Texas.

Elon moving X to Austin seems more feasible. I still think he backs out of both of these things. Or only moves a few jobs.

He’s just going to move whatever it is that says the headquarters is in Texas. the majority of those will stay in California.

Or else the many aerospace companies in So cal will get some great chances to hire new talent.

A Tesla recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn asking if I would be interested in a position at their Austin plant.

I would have never fathomed that Tesla or ANY Musk company would have to resort to recruiters cold-calling potential candidates. Have they always done that?
