Good riddance!
Oh look nobody cares.
The employees that now have to spend an extra 2-3 hours commuting probably care quite a bit.
if they’re there, that’s their choice.
To be fair, the tech job market is in a pretty shit position right now. For many people it’s not possible to leave their current job, even if they hate it (ask me how I know).
I understand the sentiment, but if they are specifically working at Twitter it’s not due to economic forced conditions.
they chose to stay after Elon took over and the job market isn’t soooo bad that a year later they could be gone…
The HB1 can’t leave Twitter without leaving the US.
if they’re there, that’s their choice.
For a lot of them, absolutely. Not all though. A lot of tech companies have been cutting back lately, and it’s pretty rough out there for certain roles. I know a lot of people that have been sticking out jobs they hate for a year+ while they interview and try to find something with similar comp.
Oh no 🙄 anyway.

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.”
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!”
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.
Don’t let the gigantic dildo nailed to the door hit you on the way out… actually, do.
Elon should leave Earth
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.
Mars Needs Morons
I’ve heard that the sun is lit af.
That’s HOT!
Brillant!
Considering SpaceX’s track record… I’m very eager for Elon and his other billionaire buddies to get on a rocket headed for Mars.
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.
Look, I understand your point. And to be fair, they genuinely are reading new ground with reusable rockets. But not only are competitors catching up, cost overruns and time delays do matter in the context of NASA, considering how their budgets keeps getting negatively affected and the Artemis project is suffering setbacks. They don’t have the scope to tolerate what’s happening.
Sure, it might matter if there were any other alternative… like what, SLS? If you want to talk about cost overruns and time delays, look no further. That rocket costs over a billion per launch. Maybe New Glenn will surprise us?
If there were literally any other way, I’d want NASA to pick it for Artemis. Heck, some sort of lander system assembled in orbit from multiple Falcon Heavy launches would be my vote.
how much is spacex paying elon?
They can call it the “Trytanic” or something and we can all laugh when it gets hit by an icy comet
Elon deserves the first seat on the POPROBTERM rocket
Ok bye!
He’s finally turning it into a homeless shelter!
…right?
…
…right?
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.
Transportation options? Maybe they can dig a long-ass tunnel exclusively for Tesla taxis.
Anyone who hasn’t already fled that sinking ship now gets to spend an extra 3-4h per day commuting to work there. I’m sure that’ll be great for talent retention.
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.

Twitter moving to mid-market was pretty controversial because of the tax breaks the mayor lavished on them. But a lot of condos went up in the area.
Wondering if anyone still working at Twitter bought a condo just so they could be within walking distance of work.
