    They probably got evicted – Musk constantly threatens to not pay rent… who knows, maybe he actually followed through.

    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.”

      “You can’t fire me, I quit!”
      “Sir, this is a Wendy’s San Francisco. Please just leave.” “You’ll be hearing from my lawyers!”

    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.

    Well if any state deserves Musky, it’s Texas. Sorry not sorry Austin.

    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.

      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.

      Transportation options? Maybe they can dig a long-ass tunnel exclusively for Tesla taxis.
