Texas Governor-Elect Calls for Pause in SpaceX Land Sale Negotiations

TechFlow reported on November 6, citing Investor’s Business Daily, that Texas Governor-Elect Gina Hinojosa said she has asked state officials to suspend negotiations with SpaceX over a potential land sale during the transition of power.

The report said the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department had previously negotiated with SpaceX over transferring control of about 1300 acres of public land in Cameron County and Boca Chica State Park; SpaceX reportedly intends to use the land to expand its Starbase facility.

It was also reported that GLJ Research believes a Democratic victory in Congress and key statewide offices in Texas would make a potential SpaceX-Tesla merger slower, more costly and less likely.
