Texas Governor-elect plans to regulate Musk's companies in the state

Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa announced plans to regulate Elon Musk's companies, stating cooperation must occur "on our terms" and not involve "running over the people of Texas." Hinojosa reiterated her campaign promise to impose a moratorium on new data center construction until stricter regulations are established, while balancing Texas's business-friendly reputation. She also requested the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department halt any potential land sale to SpaceX. Texas hosts over a quarter of planned US data center capacity, with Musk's SpaceX and Tesla headquartered there. Musk invested $250 million in Republican midterm campaigns and hinted at space-based data centers following his election losses.
