Good for San Francisco.
I would be happy if all tech left the city. It used to be a hipster village of social non challants and detected alternative social movements. A shining, hairy, culty, body odor having, punk rock city on a hill.
The tech takeover ruined the city and contributed directly to the epidemic levels of homelessness seen because it made the city effectively so expensive non millionaires can’t survive there. Most long time san Francisco families ended up moving out.
Take all the rest of tech with you please Mr. Musk. Make San Francisco an affordable city again.
It’s too late, the landleeches have already taken over. Any city remotely worth living in is too expensive to live in, and will remain that way until we eliminate the landleech class.
Running from Brazil, running from SF, does he only knows how to run?
I mean the bitch wants to go to Mars. I say we let him. And maybe he’ll finally understand the complete piece of shit he’s been when he is running out of oxygen or is freezing in the vacuum of space because he decided to piss off or remove all the actual intelligent people and was left with the bottom of the barrel pseudo-engineer who created and developed his mars rocket.
It’s a fun thought experiment, anyway.
Make sure to take a photo of your roadster as you’re gasping for air, Elon!
Unfortunately he said he doesn’t want to ever go to space himself.
how many of their engineers are willing to relocate from san francisco to texas
Well, he doesn’t need a many as he used to…
Going from an apartment to a big house with a pool will change a few minds.
sounds like obesity and depression to me
Does sf also have power issues?

No misunderstanding. I know Texas does have issues. Which is a major reason I doubt people want to move there besides all the witch hunts and other bs. A nice house in hell is not the same as apt in heaven.
The rich engineers weren’t the demographic affected by the “rolling” brownouts. The people in McMansions had power the entire time, while the people in apartments were shitting in grocery bags because their toilets had frozen solid from lack of power for heating.
The “rolling” brownouts were really just rolling around the same poor areas.
Oh I see thanks for info.
Makes more sense that GOP didn’t care.
Musk is taking it to the farm upstate.
Don’t be Texas, don’t be Texas…
* checks Google *
FUCK!
it literally could not be anywhere else. Texas is a safe-space for oligarchs and bigots. That’s why Elon and Joe Rogan and all these other asshats left CA for TX.
Texas, where woke goes to die.
Blexus!?
Sorry, I meant Florida. Texas is going purple baby!

Weeps in despair in South Carolina
Young people need to register and vote. If they did, SC would be blue reliably.
All but 2 states honestly…
I agree. I just have no idea how to motivate folks to do that. Hence the despair.
This might not be the answer, but it is important. This is one of the last videos Beau did before he retired and his wife is taking over. It is still one of my favorite channels, but keep this in mind especially for the next several months, and beyond if things don’t go our way.
Hey Texas? Ya got room for one more scumbag?
Considering how many Bay Area tech workers with zero morals leave cali for Texas purely for lower taxes and how Texas loves that, I’m sure they do
Fucking lol
Didn’t Apartheid Lonnie refuse to pay rent for the office space for a while there? Did that ever get resolved or is he still defaulting on the rent?
I’d like to see the answer to this
- X’s San Francisco landlord dismisses lawsuit claiming unpaid rent (reuters, March 2024)
“The owner of Elon Musk’s X Corp headquarters in San Francisco has dismissed a lawsuit that accused the social media platform of missing monthly rent payments totaling millions of dollars.”
thnx!
Billions of dollars and that’s the beard.
This is the first beard I’ve ever seen make someone’s chin look weaker.
Beard? It looks like he hasn’t washed for a week.
Hmmm, makes me think of that one Greenday song 🤔
He really is the DJ Khaled of technology… which is not a compliment. Can people not just tell “certain sections” of Texans that an uppity African American with a couple of baby mommas and lots of money is moving in to their neighbourhood? And bringing his “business interests” with him too.
He really is the DJ Khaled of technology
Damn, this is fucking spot on. I’ll be Musk wouldn’t make it to the end on Hot Wings either.
This will have very little effect on SF in the long-term 😂🤣 All of their staff that was here are going to stay here - they’re not going to follow fucking X to whatever ass-backwards state Musk chooses
So, to recap:
- we have a huge office that will eventually bring in another major company,
- the area keeps all of its best talent, and
- we get rid of the grifter that regularly refuses to pay their rent/lease, taxes, and insurance bills?
Hell yeah, of course this is a win.
All of their staff that was here are going to stay here - they’re not going to follow fucking Xitter
At this point, for how he treated his employees, we can assume that most of the ones left are visa hostages that would be deported the day after being fired or incompetent people that faked their way to the spot and can’t find another job that pays the same. Or musk stans, but he fired even that simp that slept in the office floor in order to be more “productive”.
They are trapped and follow him everywhere
Depends on the visa, but usually you get a grace period to find another job. Not a walk in the park but no one is getting auto-deported either.
whatever ass-backwards state Musk chooses
Pretty sure he’s headed to Texas.
I think you mean teXas 😂
the king of back-assward states
Florida Man would like a word with you.
Texas is 50th in the US for quality of life. How they managed to be worse than the other Gulf states is baffling. Abbott and Paxton have managed to turn Texas into a raging dumpster fire. If Texas actually left the US, it probably wouldn’t even be able to get a membership in BRICS.
Jeez, Texas losing to Mississippi is embarrassing considering that by any measure it’s a failed state. The Jackson water crisis alone should have them scrambling on par with Michigan post Flint.
To use an analogy, Mississippi will kick a puppy if it crosses its path Texas is outright looking for a puppy to kick.
For those who were also curious about a source for the claim that “Texas is 50th in the US for quality of life”: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/13/10-states-worst-quality-of-life-america.html
They’re actually just moving people to their existing San Jose and Palo Alto offices, not even leaving California!
He’ll fit right in.
As a native Texan, this shit just keeps piling up and I cannot be more stoked. They’re so close to flipping our state.
At one point they were only keeping the desperate H-1B visa workers. I don’t know if that’s still the case, or how many of those workers are Asian or South Asian, but they might not want to move to whatever anti-woke place Musk wants to put X next.
I can’t wait until it goes blue this November and 49% of the state collectively whines about it for 4+ years.
Don’t blueball me like that.
Its weird Peter Thiel hasn’t followed him. Both of them are just awful, you’d think they’d synergize
I imagine most of whoever is left at Twitter is on a visa, so yeah, they probably will follow Musk wherever he says to go. The alternative is people rip their families away from their homes that they’ve probably built over the years and move back to their old country.
Now, if Biden were to grant the power to protect re-employment to other companies for those on L visas, Musk is probably utterly fucked.
The alternative is people rip their families away from their homes that they’ve probably built over the years and move back to their old country.
Musk is very anti-remote-work, so they have to do this anyway. Moving to Texas is only slightly less jarring than moving back to their home country which, in my experience, most people on visas visit regularly anyway.

Anyone hardcore enough to still be working at that dumpster fire is there for the long haul, they will follow Formerly Twitter in to the gates of hell, seemingly.
I’m guessing some of them (if on work visas) don’t have a lot of mobility. That doesn’t mean they will be as productive as someone else. Seeing colleagues go to other companies and being treated better on day one has a toll on worker morale.
Yeah, it’s not a big deal, but it shows or starts a trend.
Of? Companies leaving CA due to liberal laws? That’s kinda been CA’s thing since forever.
Another lemmy echo chamber… It’s pointless to show another kind of opinion. And I’m not far right or anything. I don’t even care about US politics.
An echo chamber of what, exactly? I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make 🤷♂️
Another lemmy echo chamber… It’s pointless to show another kind of opinion.
Sounds like you maybe just have a habit of entering conversations on topics you don’t know much about (and in this case self-admittedly don’t even care about), so you get a lot of people who are more informed and do care expressing their disagreement with you?
Have you considered just not doing that?
An echo chamber for calling CA liberal? That’s just well documented reality my guy.
You don’t care about US politics, which means you probably don’t know much about them. So it very much seems like you’re speaking about something you don’t care or know about. Then when I, a person who does very much care about US politics, chimes in with insight you call it an echo chamber.
Honestly, it seems like you want to just say whatever you like and then rant and dismiss anyone who knows the topic and pushes back. Ironically, that sounds exactly like how an echo chamber works lol.
Although i hate hearing about him, i do like seeing his face and body rapidly deteriorating.
It’s not deteriorating, it’s just entering its final cybertruck form
And that’s after he spends a ton of money to get it fixed. If he weren’t rich, he’d be bald by now, for example.
Ya, he identifies as a non-bald man. He had gender affirming care to make sure his hair is there and full.
