Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday threw at Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk an idea to shift Twitter Inc. headquarters to the second-largest U.S. state, where the billionaire entrepreneur’s other companies are already based.

Why It Matters
Tesla, SpaceX, and The Boring Company are all headquartered in Texas.
