Paresh Dave, reporting for Wired:

“This is the final straw,” Musk commented on a post about a new California law protecting the privacy of transgender children. “Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.” 

So, Elon Musk is upset his bigotry is being curtailed in California, so he’s moving SpaceX to Texas, where, apparently, bigots are more welcome?

Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Imagine being an unbigoted Texan realizing that Texas is the place bigots want to be. Texans, ask yourselves: “Are we the baddies?

More seriously, SpaceX is the only way for the U.S. to get to the International Space Station (other than Russia—which is obviously a non-starter).

Being in business with a company run by a mercurial bigot who makes decisions on a whim is dangerous. The U.S. government needs to declare that access to SpaceX is a national security necessity—and Musk a national security risk—and nationalize SpaceX, removing Musk in the process.

While they’re at it, nationalize Starlink too.
