I'm sure my home state of Texas would love for SpaceX to increase its investment in jobs and other opportunities in Texas. But I'd be cautious about inferring that such an investment is going to occur simply because of SpaceX's reincorporation in Texas (as announced this week). Musk's decision to switch incorporation for SpaceX from Delaware to Texas is grounded in the Delaware Court of Chancery's decision to nullify Musk's pay package for *Tesla*--but Tesla isn't moving its Delaware incorporation and can't move it without that move's being approved by Tesla shareholders. Will the state-of-incorporation move mean SpaceX will invest in more jobs and facilities in Texas? It's not impossible--Texas has plenty of aerospace talent. But two factors should pre-empt any early rejoicing in Texas about new SpaceX investment. First, SpaceX already homes its testing of launch vehicles, engines, and other systems in McGregor, Texas--and was able to do so even without being incorporated in the state. Second, the state of California, which is where SpaceX designs its launch vehicles and other systems (in the city of Hayworth), *also* has a ton of aerospace talent. California is also home to Vandenberg Air Force Base, one of the launch sites for SpaceX missions. (The company also has a launch site and launch support site at Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center, respectively, in Florida.) Given SpaceX's extraordinary success in the earth-to-orbit marketplace and given its current physical plant, it's by no means clear that reincorporation in Texas (and corporate "departure" from Delaware) will mean more investment in Texas than the company has already planned. If there are SpaceX facilities in Delaware, other than the lawyers who have handled SpaceX incorporation-related functions in Wilmington, they're unmentioned on the company's website.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off on the USSF-124 mission for the U.S. Space Force and Missile Defense Agency in Cape Canaveral, Florida, U.S., February 14, 2024. Joe Skipper | Reuters SpaceX has filed to change its incorporation location to Texas from Delaware, according to public filings with the Texas Secretary of State. It’s the latest move by Elon Musk following a Delaware Chancery Court ruling that ordered Tesla to rescind the CEO’s 2018 pay package, worth about $56 billion in options. Neuralink, another one of Musk’s companies, has also begun moving its location of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada. Musk voiced a strong preference for moving his businesses out of Delaware following the court’s decision, and has encouraged other businesses to do so as well. He has also promised that Tesla will hold a shareholder vote to get approval to move the company’s site of incorporation to Texas. “SpaceX has moved its state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas!” Musk wrote in a post on X on Wednesday. “If your company is still incorporated in Delaware, I recommend moving to another state as soon as possible.” Musk is expected to file for appeal to the Delaware State Supreme Court regarding his pay package. If the ruling stands he will lose his options but not any shares he previously held. Even before the ruling, Musk was exiting Delaware. After leading the $44 billion buyout of Twitter in 2022, he renamed it X and moved its site of incorporation to Nevada. SpaceX and Musk didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, is making substantial investments in Filtronic, a British engineering firm originally started in a professor's garage. In exchange for selling $60m of components, SpaceX will gain the ability to convert warrants into a total of 10% of Filtronic shares. Filtronic, originally established in 1977 to supply parts for military aircraft, later became a key supplier for Nokia mobile phones. Despite losing substantial market value after the dotcom bubble burst, it's now valued at around £110m. Through this new deal, Filtronic aims to advance its manufacturing scale and execute its technology roadmap. This significant development will allow Filtronic to further align with SpaceX, a leading operator in low earth orbit satellite constellations. High-speed, low-latency broadband internet via the Starlink network will continue to connect millions globally.

Which is most likely in your opinion? 1. California officials are rightly concerned with what appears to be a largely unhinged, unpredictable SpaceX leader that should not be presiding over such an important, strategic and potentially dangerous industry and its operations. or 2. California officials are petty and pissed with all the shade Elon Musk has thrown, and Musk likely the first mover precipitating an accerating mass exodus of businesses and people in an overtaxed and poorly governed state. https://lnkd.in/gnXmCJ3s

#WhatImSeeing - Elon Musk 🚀 The video in the link below perfectly demonstrates why #ElonMusk is such an outstanding manufacturing CEO. A college professor asks Musks over a Zoom call why SpaceX uses seemingly heavy (therefore BAD for rockets!) Stainless Steel rather than cutting edge Carbon Fibre (super light!) in the hull of the Starship launcher, that just recently had a successful trial run. What follows is a master class in manufacturing excellence. With no prior preparation or notes, Musk expertly breaks down the cost benefit calculation and gives figures in clear and concise language. It demonstrates his logical and systematic thinking as well as his ability to break problems down to their most basic level and arrive at very counterintuitively simple solutions to complex manufacturing problems. This is why SpaceX is such an outstanding success. We can all learn from this example. https://lnkd.in/dNtPNQ3u TCPL Packaging #manufacturingexcellence #jugaad #materials #manufacturing
