Elon Musk and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are locked in a heated dispute over a controversial student gender identity law in California. Musk announced that SpaceX and X would be leaving the state due to the law, which prohibits teachers from notifying parents about changes in a student’s gender identity without the child's permission. The move led to a public spat between Musk and Newsom, with Newsom sharing a 2022 tweet from former President Trump criticizing Musk. Musk fired back at Newsom, accusing him of bending to federal subsidies demands. Critics argue that the law is invasive and infringes on parental rights, while supporters believe it offers necessary protection for LGBTQ+ students. Musk reiterated his decision to relocate both companies to Texas, citing concerns over California's laws impacting families and businesses. Musk also endorsed Trump's 2024 presidential bid and committed $45 million per month to a pro-Trump super PAC.
