Musk expected to expand Twitter operations in Texas

Lawsuits, investigations expected over released 'Twitter files'

Before and after billionaire Elon Musk acquired the social media company Twitter, he’d been invited by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and others to relocate its headquarters to the Lone Star State. While Musk hasn’t committed to doing so, he said setting up “dual headquarters” was more likely, according to a report.

Tech publication The Verge reported Musk told employees at a recent meeting there were “no plans” to relocate Twitter’s headquarters to Texas but having “dual-headquarters” in California and Texas was more likely.

“If we want to move the headquarters to Texas, I think it would play into the idea that Twitter has gone from being left-wing to right-wing, which is not the case," Musk added, according to The Verge. "This is not a right-wing takeover of Twitter. It is a moderate-wing takeover of Twitter.”

In October 2021, Musk announced he was moving Tesla’s headquarters from Palo Alto, California, to Austin after a public conflict with state Democratic lawmakers over lockdown policies and increasing taxes levied on businesses. Both policies contributed to historic numbers of residents and businesses exiting California over the past two years. As California saw population losses for the first time in recorded state history under Gov. Gavin Newsom, Texas continues to lead the nation in population growth.
