On Tuesday, billionaire Elon Musk announced on X that he is fed up, and the final California straw was drawn for him following the latest delusional legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).
Musk announced that he is moving the headquarters of his social media company, X, and aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company, SpaceX, from California to Texas.

Musk posted on X:
This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, Calfornia, to Starbase, Texas.
I did make it clear to Governor Newsom about a year ago that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children.
This is the final straw.

The final straw that Musk is referring to is AB1955, which would ban schools from requiring parental notification if a child identifies as transgender. That is a massive overstep. The California bureaucrats think they have control over children now. Newsom and his cronies believe it is okay for things to be kept a secret from the children's parents or guardians. That's the message they are sending by passing this ludicrous bill.
California Becomes First State to Weaponize Government Against Parental Rights
Musk later gave another reason to his followers on X as to why he is moving the headquarters of the social media company:
Have had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building.

Gavin Newsom will continue to gaslight the public, and most of the media will report on his statements as a fact when it's anything but the truth. Newsom will claim that the California economy is doing great while small businesses are having trouble keeping the lights on due to crime and rising costs. He has claimed that he is a strong supporter of public schools, and they don't need school choice in the state, yet he sends his children to private schools, which is completely fine — but then don't deny other children and their families the opportunity to choose which school they want to go to.
