The next phase of Elon Musk's X project is now here, with X now legally seeking an official name change of Bastrop, Texas, as its new base.

In the legal battle that is on between X and former CNN anchor Don Lemon, a court filing indicated that X has now requested to change the head office location to Bastrop, where SpaceX and The Boring Company are based.

As Forbes informs:

"Last month, X updated a number of incorporation documents to reflect the Bastrop address, show exhibits filed by the company. Musk is asking that litigation in the Lemon lawsuit be permitted to continue in Texas." Which is no surprise. Back in July, Musk said that X would be leaving its long-held San Francisco HQ, due to Musk's personal disagreement with law changes in the state relating to gender identification among kids.

Musk had also pointed to the safety risks in the city, and with 80 percent fewer staff, X no longer needs an office space as large as this one.
Last month, X told staff it would leave its building in San Francisco within weeks, and staff would be redeployed to offices in San Jose, Palo Alto, and Texas.

And now, it is confirmed that Texas has been the accepted company home base in order to bring it more on par with other projects that Elon Musk is undertaking.

The new head office for X will be situated in "Hyperloop Plaza," which refers to a shopping center complex owned by Musk. X is also hiring now for a new safety center in the region, with the majority of X staff eventually to be moved to this new location.

The company, which was once simply known as Twitter, will no longer carry a moniker that evokes San Francisco and, by extension, the rest of Silicon Valley. However, in Musk's new iteration, the company will be realigned and closer alignment with Elon's other ventures-most notably xAI-will allow the former to use those resources and exchange knowledge freely between projects more easily.

There's probably a minor external effect. X has already made a huge change with its content moderation and that's already had a huge effect on the feel of the app, but in terms of development, having all of Elon's various entities working more closely together is only going to help their collective development as different groups focus on different projects across the different companies.

Within reason, and what's sanctioned by the board and external regulations on such. Elon's already sharing hardware between his organizations, which has raised some eyebrows, but having all of these systems working in closer conjunction will enable greater collaboration of this type.

That does close the door, however, to what was Twitter. The physical move is indeed the full stop on the Twitter story with X claiming that space.
