Texans sent a warm welcome to Elon Musk following his decision to relocate SpaceX and X to the Lone Star State from California, per a letter Texas congressmen sent the billionaire.

Reps. Pat Fallon, John Carter, and Troy Nehls wrote in a letter first obtained by the Washington Reporter, that they “extend our hand in friendship and welcome to Texas” to Musk, whose companies had long been headquartered in California. When Gov. Gavin Newsom (D., Calif.) signed a law this month that prevents schools from adopting policies that would require teachers to inform parents when their children want to be treated as members of the opposite sex, Musk announced that “because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.”

California’s loss is Texas’s gain, the Republicans noted.

“Due to the tireless efforts of state and federal legislators, Texas is an ideal state to conduct business in. This is showcased by the many Fortune 500 companies already headquartered in our state, along with the countless small businesses that are the backbone of our local economy,” they wrote.
