All of that depends on having a president and congress that would refuse to approve the transfer. Right now, it’s not going anywhere but who knows what the next administration or two might bring to the table.

I'm sorry but is just nonsense? Go where? To Russia or China, that would never be allowed. To Europe?

And even if it was allowed, the infrastructure and people are here, this would be a decade long transition.

The only region that could reasonably host SpaceX would be the middle east. You'd get the Saudis or the Qataris using their money cannon to get what they want, and setting up launch operations in the desert, staffed by untaxed and overpaid expats from all over the globe.
