Basically a law passed in California that bans disclosure to parents of any gender issues.

not that he shouldn't move, he should, but Starbase is literally on the beach in Brownsville - isn't that pretty exposed for a place to build/assemble flight vehicles?

Elon is out of control. Making decisions based on emotion is not a good business move.

It seems like a decision based more on principle than emotion, no?

Also, the Port of Brownsville is the largest single port in the US in terms of facilities served by oceangoing vessels. Can get up to an Aframax sized tanker down the entire length of the ship channel, which is like 17 miles long.

Not the point. It’s called Starbase. How could you not move there?

Clearly you didn't read the part where he said he's been considering this for some time.

Also, aside from the hot weather, there's not much of a downside for being based in Texas.
