Today, October 27, 2026, based on a KSAT 12 news reports. A Travis County judge just ordered Gov. Greg Abbott to stop blocking his Democratic challenger, State Rep. Gina Hinojosa, from inspecting his private communications with Elon Musk. Hinojosa sued on Oct. 19 after Abbott's office refused her request under the Texas Public Information Act. His office had already turned over 1,374 pages for an earlier records request, but her lawsuit says nearly all of it was blacked out, and that Abbott argued some of the messages were "intimate and embarrassing." Under Texas law, a sitting legislator can request government records, including confidential ones, for legislative purposes. Abbott’s office acknowledged it had already collected and assembled the documents but still refused to let Hinojosa inspect them, the lawsuit alleges. The filing also lays out an extensive financial relationship between Abbott and Musk: $54 million in state grants to SpaceX, $1.7 billion in school tax breaks for Musk's Terafab project, and at least $500,000 from Musk to Abbott. It also notes Musk asked Abbott if he would "have his back" and Abbott responded, "I said 100%," according to the filing.
