Why is it always Austin, the most liberal, left-wing city in Texas? If they’re trying to get away from “woke”, they should be moving to REAL Texas. Some town nobody’s even heard of.
They’re posers. They want to look like Texans, but they move to liberal-ville.
1/2 /s
Congratulations SF
Austin doesn’t want him either.
I wouldn’t be so sure. There’s a lot of Elon stans here.
There’s not as many as you’d think, it’s just they’re all so loud and every single one of them has an eyesore of a cybertruck. It’s like confirmation bias.
Yeah, probably. I just hate all the fascistmobiles I see rolling down the road.
They probably got evicted – Musk constantly threatens to not pay rent… who knows, maybe he actually followed through.
Its landlord, SRI Nine Market Square, in early 2023 filed a suit against X for more than $3 million in unpaid rent. SRI Nine Market sought to extend Twitter’s line of credit to $10 million as an assurance that future rent would be paid. Other vendors also have sued X for failing to pay its bills. But in January of this year, SRI Nine Market dropped the case, Reuters reported. It’s unclear why.
Sounds like he did follow through.
Elon should leave Earth
Mars Needs Morons
Considering SpaceX’s track record… I’m very eager for Elon and his other billionaire buddies to get on a rocket headed for Mars.
They can call it the “Trytanic” or something and we can all laugh when it gets hit by an icy comet
It has a fabulous track record, what are you talking about? Falcon 9 has had like 1 anomaly in the last 300 flights.
I’m referring to the rockets intended for travelling to the moon and beyond (primarily the Starship), which has already failed thrice, has innumerable issues and massive cost overruns.
That’s ridiculous, all launch vehicles have cost overruns. And judging Starship by a pre-production vehicle is also hilariously out of touch. Wait until they’re launching payloads and then make your point.
how much is spacex paying elon?
I’ve heard that the sun is lit af.
That’s HOT!
Brillant!
The Race to Mars, Will Blue Origin’s CEO beat Space Xs CEO to the Red Planet?
Lovely dream: exiling all billionaires to Mars
Not exiling. It’s a contest.
Hells, yeah
Well if any state deserves Musky, it’s Texas. Sorry not sorry Austin.

TL;DR: They’re moving the SF office to Austin.
But do read this part:
The latest update from Yaccarino suggests it’s the San Francisco office, specifically, that is the thorn in X’s side. And it’s an about-face for Musk, who tweeted a year ago that, despite incentives to move out of San Francisco, X would not move its HQ out of the city. “You only know who your real friends are when the chips are down,” he waxed poetically on X. “San Francisco, beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we will always be your friend.”
Hooray! Don’t come back.
I mean, when you stop paying the rent…
“You can’t fire me, I quit!”
“Sir, this isa Wendy’sSan Francisco. Please just leave.” “You’ll be hearing from my lawyers!”
Employees in San Francisco reportedly will be moved to new locations in the Bay Area, “including the existing office in San Jose and a new engineering focused shared space with [xAI, Musk’s AI startup] in Palo Alto,” the note said. The company’s executive team is said to be working on “transportation options” for staff. X did not respond to WIRED’s request for comment.
Moving a corporate headquarters, in this case presumably one where a huge proportion of the business operations actually happen, is expensive. What could go wrong?
My employer closed down its former HQ on the east coast & moved it to Austin in 2019. Much of the old HQ contained engineering teams. The CEO explained that all engineering was shifting to 100% remote so that they could start hiring the best tech talent they could find no matter where they lived. All non-technical jobs (finance, HR, marketing, etc) were moved to an existing office in Austin, where he said it would be relatively easy to hire from the talent available in that area.
I’ve been working remotely for 5 years now and really enjoy it. I’m also working not only with folks from all over the US, but globally now as well.
Oh look nobody cares.
The employees that now have to spend an extra 2-3 hours commuting probably care quite a bit.
Where is she going to go?
If only there was some sort of article that contained that information.
I was going for the joke:
Elon Musk’s (e)X is leaving San Francisco
Probably Texas
Lemmy, where people can read the technical documentation for a Linux distro, but not the article.
Sadly, Austin.
I just recently moved out after over twenty years there. I dearly love that town and it breaks my heart to shit shitbags like Elon and Joe Rogan bring their toxic crowds to town. Austin deserves better.
You mean he’s not moving to Florida or Texas or Alabama? The places where America’s “smartest” folks live?
I think their headquarters being in bama would make the most sense.
