Democracy Now!’s independent reporting is more important than ever, when only a galvanized, engaged public, supported by resilient, pro-democracy grassroots movements, can prevent authoritarianism from triumphing. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Elon Musk Plans to Move SpaceX from CA to TX After Newsom Signs New Law Protecting Trans Students

HeadlineJul 18, 2024

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced plans to move the headquarters of X and SpaceX out of California and relocate to Texas over a new California state law that protects the rights of transgender students. The law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom this week, bans schools from forcing educators to notify parents of their child’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression without the student’s consent. This includes students asking to use a different name or pronouns. Musk, who has an estranged trans daughter, said on X, “This is the final straw.”
