San Francisco says ‘good riddance’ as X prepares to leave
San Francisco says ‘good riddance’ as X prepares to leave
Elon Musk is moving X out of San Francisco, but city officials claim it won't have a major impact due to how much the company has shrunk.
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.
whatever ass-backwards state Musk chooses
Pretty sure he's headed to Texas.
I think you mean teXas 😂
They’re actually just moving people to their existing San Jose and Palo Alto offices, not even leaving California!
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.
He'll fit right in.
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.
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.
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.
Its weird Peter Thiel hasn't followed him. Both of them are just awful, you'd think they'd synergize
Bye Nazi-toddler, don’t let our tolerance and diversity hit your ketamine addicted ass on its way out, you piece of human garbage.
He’s addicted to ketamine? I would’ve guessed cocaine
I'm pretty sure it's both.
I hate that ketamine has to be catching so many strays lately... Don't blame K for this idiot.
correction; as twitter prepares to be evicted for non payment of rent
This is the real story, they ain't choosin shit. They're being kicked the fuck out. Elon takin tips from DonOld T
Finally, NIMBYs everyone can get on board with
YIMBY
X is going to be driven into the ground
I'd love to see it fail completely. I'm hoping that musk makes it a site that you have to pay a subscription to see anything at all on there so everyone can finally give up on it.
Then I guess all the Nazis will go back to stormfront.
They're walking right into new TX regs for social media. I'm already off the platform but any platform that stops me to upload my driver's license then I'm done with it.
Going to be?
What benefit does musk get from killing twitter? He's getting something out of it.
After the string of bad decisions he's already made with this company, what makes you think he's able to make good choices now? He has an echo-chamber where nobody can tell him to GTFO and that's literally the only thing he's ever getting out of it. It's kinda like if someone paid an obscene amount of money for a junker car, then paid 10x that amount to put vanity plates on it.
Yeah, controlling the town square. It's worth him sinking money into it if he can get favorable tax laws passed as a result.
Election interference all over the world is a great value for his russian, chinese and arabian masters
it is impossible to operate in San Francisco if you’re processing payments
Is it though? He talks like he still runs PayPal. All Twitter sells is adverts, blue ticks and hate.
He wants to turn twitter into Wechat, which is used for paying basically everything in China. In San Francisco you can't just get rich by funneling money, you have to pay taxes on it.
You would still get rich but he wants it all for himself and doesn't want to pay his debt to the United States.
Good for San Francisco.
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.
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."
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Musk is taking it to the farm upstate.
Fucking lol
🖖🏻
Hmmm, makes me think of that one Greenday song 🤔
