Musk's New Texas Venture Draws Mixed Reactions Among Locals
(MENAFN) Elon Musk, having left Silicon Valley for a mix of political and business reasons, is setting up a corporate campus in rural Texas, where local opinions are sharply divided.
Situated about thirty minutes east of Austin, the traffic congestion begins to dissipate, unveiling the vast landscapes of Central Texas as one moves away from the urban hustle.
A left turn off the main two-lane highway leads to Farm-to-Market Road 1209, an unexpected site for a high-tech hub. Yet, this is exactly what Musk, the world's richest person and a close associate of President Donald Trump, envisions for the region.
Recent court filings indicate that a large metal structure, recently completed, will become the new headquarters for X, Musk's social media platform.
Nearby, a prominent logo of the Boring Company, Musk's infrastructure initiative, marks another headquarters. Across FM 1209, a rapidly growing SpaceX facility is actively producing equipment for Starlink satellite internet.
Traditionally, Musk has resided in Silicon Valley and managed his businesses from there. His relocation to Texas not only mirrors a broader trend among tech executives but also appears to signal a shift in his political stance.
