SACRAMENTO – Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher issued the following statement on Elon Musk’s announcement that he would relocate the headquarters of X and SpaceX to Texas in the wake of Gov. Newsom signing a law allowing school employees to hide students’ gender transitions from parents:
“Gavin Newsom’s anti-parent agenda isn’t just bad for families – now it’s doing serious damage to California’s economy. With the highest unemployment rate in the nation, you’d think our governor would be doing everything possible to protect jobs. Instead, he’s pandering to extremists in his party by cutting parents out of their kids’ education and driving even more businesses to pack up for other states.”
In addition to the ban on parental notification policies, Musk cited the need to “dodge gangs of violent drug addicts” that surround X’s San Francisco headquarters as a reason for moving.
