Billionaire aerospace mogul Elon Musk announced the the company will move from Hawthorne to Texas on Tuesday, July 16.
Elon Musk said the headquarters for X and SpaceX will both relocate to Texas, with the billionaire citing frustration over laws in California, where SpaceX is currently based in Hawthorne on Tuesday, July 16, 2024.
Musk, who has increasingly leaned into far-right conservative rhetoric in recent years, called the governor’s decision a “final straw.” Musk and the company have not said whether the entire campus — or other SpaceX facilities in Southern California — would be shut down and moved. “Hawthorne has learned that SpaceX, one of our valued businesses, may potentially relocate its headquarters,” Mayor Alex Vargas said. “While this move would represent a significant change for our community, we remain committed to supporting our local economy and fostering growth.”
But it’s unclear whether SpaceX’s plan to relocate the company’s headquarters will include moving its entire facility and all employees to Texas. That’s likely because the South Bay economy — and Torrance’s in particular — is diverse, with various large malls, company headquarters and industries, as opposed to relying on one single major business.“SpaceX has been an integral part of our community,” Vargas, the Hawthorne mayor, said, “contributing to our local economy and helping to establish Hawthorne as a hub of technological innovation.
The city also included a corporate citizenship clause in that economic development deal — which allowed the city to use the SpaceX logo in its own branding to promote community engagement with the company and vice versa.
