After Musk decided to move his aerospace company "SpaceX" and social media company "X" from California to Texas, on July 16, California Governor Newsom posted a screenshot of Trump's social media speech on social media, criticizing Musk, saying: "You are kneeling."

On the same day, British Sky News reported that Musk allegedly denied the authenticity of the Wall Street Journal's previous report that he "donated $45 million to Trump every month."

The screenshot posted by Newsom was a post by Trump criticizing Musk in 2022. In it, Trump wrote: "When Elon Musk came to the White House and asked me to help with all his subsidy projects, whether (these subsidies) were (for) electric cars that didn't last long enough, or driverless cars that were prone to crashes, or rocket ships that couldn't get anywhere, he was worthless without subsidies. (Musk) told me that he was a big fan of Trump and a Republican. I could have said, 'Get down on your knees and beg,' and he would have done so..."

Earlier on the 16th, Newsom signed a bill prohibiting school districts from notifying parents when their children decide to change their gender identity.

Musk said this was the "final straw". Musk said that given the "attack" this bill and several other bills issued before it have had on many families and companies, the headquarters of "SpaceX" and "X" will be moved from California to Texas. Musk said he "made it clear to Newsom about a year ago that a law of this nature" would force people to leave California.

Previously, Musk's Tesla company had changed its headquarters from California to Texas, and Tesla also built one of its five super factories in the United States in Texas.

Musk officially expressed his support for Trump after the assassination attempt on Trump on the 13th. On the 15th local time, the Wall Street Journal quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Musk said he plans to provide about $45 million per month to a newly established Super PAC (Super PAC) starting in July to support Donald Trump's entry into the White House.

On the 16th, Musk forwarded a link to the Wall Street Journal report and attached a picture with the words "fake gnus". Sky News reported that Musk seemed to be denying the authenticity of the news.
