The New Democrat Governor of Texas Is Already Targeting Elon Musk

Democrat Governor-elect of Texas Gina Hinojosa is demanding that state officials stop the sale of state land to SpaceX until she assumes office in January.

"We can have a strong working relationship with Elon Musk and his companies, but it has to be on our terms,” she continued. “It cannot be just running over the people of Texas. And that’s what changes now that I will be governor.”

The demand follows concerns that Hinojosa would damage the state’s relationship with Elon Musk, one of the largest job creators in the state of Texas, over his close relationship with President Donald Trump and Governor Greg Abbott.

Following her request, the Texas Wildlife and Park Commission canceled planned discussions for the sale.

According to Texas Monthly, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is considering selling about 1,300 acres of Boca Chica State Park in Cameron County to SpaceX so Musk can expand his adjacent Starbase rocket facility.

Word of the possible sale sparked outrage among environmentalists. With Hinojosa now poised to take power in January, many of Musk’s plans for the Lone Star State appear to hang in the balance.

Musk moved the headquarters of several of his companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, X and The Boring Company, to Texas, in part to escape Democratic policies in California. Even so, Hinojosa said she’s still open to doing business with Musk, but only on terms acceptable to her administration and Texans.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez played a prominent leadership role among local activists and politicians opposing Amazon's planned HQ2 campus in Long Island City, Queens, which led Amazon to pull out of the project in February 2019. [1, 2, 3]

Key Details of the Controversy

  • The Project & Subsidies: Amazon planned to build a second headquarters expected to generate 25,000 to 40,000 jobs, paired with roughly $3 billion in state and city tax incentives. [1, 2, 3]

  • Opposition Concerns: Critics—including Ocasio-Cortez, State Senator Michael Gianaris, and local community groups—opposed the massive public subsidies for a trillion-dollar corporation, citing concerns over gentrification, rising housing costs, increased traffic, and Amazon's corporate and anti-union track record. [1, 2, 3, 4]

  • Support and Criticism: Proponents—including then-Governor Andrew Cuomo—condemned the cancellation, arguing it cost New York tens of thousands of high-paying jobs and billions in projected tax and infrastructure revenue. Public opinion polls following the withdrawal showed a divided reaction, with some voters blaming local progressive politicians while others praised stopping the subsidies. [1, 2, 3]
