Texas’ New Democrat Governor Caves To Elon Musk– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Texas Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa is already softening her rhetoric toward billionaire Elon Musk, signaling a willingness to work with his companies after spending her campaign attacking a proposed SpaceX land deal.

The Democrat, who defeated Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in last week’s midterm elections, is now acknowledging that the relationship between Texas and one of its biggest business investors may require cooperation rather than confrontation.

During an interview with CNN on Thursday, Hinojosa suggested that her administration could maintain a productive partnership with Musk despite their disagreements.

“We can have a strong working relationship with Elon Musk and his companies,” Hinojosa said.

But the incoming governor insisted that any future arrangement would come with conditions.
