G ov. Greg Abbott's office won't turn over emails between Abbott and Elon Musk or representatives of Musk-run entities, citing content within that is private, not of interest to the public and potentially "embarrassing" or "intimate."

Gov. Greg Abbott’s office argues that the emails are covered by an exemption to public disclosure requests.

Musk had become more entrenched in Texas politics after the movement of both Tesla and SpaceX headquarters from California to the state.
