Governor of Texas Says He Can't Release His Emails With Elon Musk Because They Are "Intimate and Embarrassing"

Texas governor Greg Abbott is seemingly terrified of having his communications with billionaire Elon Musk come to light.

As the Texas Tribune and public radio station the Texas Newsroom, report in an eye-opening, co-published investigation, the elected official's public information coordinator, Matthew Taylor, said that the communications are confidential — and should stay that way — because they include "information that is intimate and embarrassing and not of legitimate concern to the public, including financial decisions that do not relate to transactions between an individual and a governmental body."

Put it all together, and we're absolutely fascinated to know what they discussed. Musk has made the US state his home over the last couple of years, following years of complaining about being taxed and having to abide by government regulations in California. He has established new headquarters there for both Tesla and SpaceX, going as far as to found a space company town in what's now known as Starbase, Texas.

His personal views have also shifted to the extreme far right, more closely aligning with the political landscape in Texas and Abbott's anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion, and anti-DEI beliefs.
