Texas elects Gina Hinojosa governor-elect, vows no free pass
World
Texas just elected Gina Hinojosa as governor-elect, and she is making it clear that Musk's companies, SpaceX and Tesla, will not get a free pass anymore.
She told CNN that any deals with these firms need to actually benefit Texans, not just the corporations.
This is a shift from how things were done before, and matches her campaign promise to keep local communities in mind.
Hinojosa seeks data-center pause, defends parkland
Hinojosa wants a pause on new data centers until Texas sets up tougher rules, aiming for smart growth without letting businesses run wild.
She also urged state officials not to sell parkland to SpaceX, saying those spaces matter to Texans.
Her approach is about balancing tech progress with real community needs.
