What's happening
The announcement was posted on the social media platform on July 29, noting that officials are looking to hire representatives with a base salary ranging from $50,000-$55,000.
In the job description, X Site Lead Roy M. Draa stated ideal candidates should help ensure the platform remains inclusive for users— keeping track of issues such as spam, fraud, child safety and more. Prospects should email their resume to [email protected]. Interviews will be set for the week of Aug. 5, according to the career website.

The bill mandates school officials to develop resources "for the support of parents, guardians, and families of LGBTQ pupils and strategies to increase support for LGBTQ pupils," and prevents officials "from enacting or enforcing any policy, rule or administrative regulation that requires an employee or a contractor to disclose any information related to a pupil’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression to any other person without the pupil’s consent," per the bill's summary.
“This is the final straw,” Musk said in his post. “Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move."
Musk reposted his statement, adding that he will also move the X headquarters to Austin from California.
X officials could not immediately be reached for further comment.
