My grandson works in Lathrop in the MegaPack facility. I really hope Musk doesn’t move that plant to Tex-Ass.Just like Tesla moved from CA to Texas but major facilities for Tesla still exist in CA. Including building a brand new factory in Lathrop for MegaPacks after Musk's proclamation about moving to Texas. In all practicality SpaceX has out-grown Hawthorne and it isn't practical to build Starship LV sections in Hawthorne. Also a lot of SpaceX's best engineers probably have moved to be near Starbase anyway because that is where Starship is being built and developed. Raptor engines are built at McGregor Texas. So most of the development action for SpaceX has already moved to Texas. The Falcon 9 will probably be built for another decade but eventually SpaceX expects to phase out the Falcon-9 once Starship is fully developed and customers are comfortable with the Launch Vehicle. Elmo's posturing on Titter is just confirming what was already happening is that Hawthorne would become less and less important to SpaceX.
