The founder of SpaceX and Tesla got into a war of words over the weekend.
Elon Musk threatening to move his Tesla headquarters from California to a state with fewer social distancing rules. This caught the attention of Hidalgo County Judge Richard F. Cortez in a letter on Monday.

Cortez offers Hidalgo County as a new site for the Tesla headquarters. Musk responded with, “Note is much appreciated.”
