Schwertner is a cattle rancher and runs Capitol Land & Livestock.

According to KXAN, he owns more than 20,000 acres across Bell and Williamson counties and said Musk could have his pick of the land.

Musk recently acquired Twitter in a $44 billion deal with a promise to pull back on the policing of content that’s posted to the platform.

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said Monday.

The rancher isn’t the only one who wants Musk to bring Twitter headquarters to Texas.

Gov. Greg Abbott also sent a tweet Monday following the news that Musk purchased Twitter saying “Bring Twitter to Texas to join Tesla, SpaceX & the Boring company.”

Musk has yet to comment on the offers.
