Elon Musk announced on Wednesday that SpaceX moved its “state of incorporation” to Texas.
Musk posted an image of a letter from Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson acknowledging and accepting the filing. The company will move from Delaware, and Musk encouraged other companies to do the same “as soon as possible.”
“SpaceX has moved its state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas!” Musk said on X, formerly Twitter. “If your company is still incorporated in Delaware, I recommend moving to another state as soon as possible.”
