X new headquarters in Bastrop, Texas near Austin

 My San Antonio:

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly confirmed the location of the new headquarters for X, formerly known as Twitter, in Central Texas after announcing the move from sunny California to temperamental Texas earlier this year.

Bastrop is also the home of other Musk ventures, including SpaceX, the Boring Company, the Boring Bodega and a new X safety support center.

Bastrop is a growing community in central Texas.   The move is likely to save X and Musk considerable money by avoiding California's confiscatory taxation and regulatory issues.  Musk now lives in Texas.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
