Billionaire Elon Musk has said he will move the headquarters of two of his most high-profile companies, rocket firm SpaceX and social media platform X, out of California to Texas.
He cited his opposition to a new Californian state law which bans schools from requiring staff to disclose information about a child’s gender identity – including to parents.
“This is the last straw,” he wrote on social media.
Mr Musk, who has a transgender daughter, has previously said he “supports trans” while expressing impatience with pronouns, which he has described as an “aesthetic nightmare”.
Last year, he said he would lobby to criminalise transgender medical treatment that would lead to what he described as “severe, irreversible changes to children below the age of consent”.
