This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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:
Hell yeah, of course this is a win.
whatever ass-backwards state Musk chooses
Pretty sure he's headed to 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.
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
I think you mean teXas 😂
They’re actually just moving people to their existing San Jose and Palo Alto offices, not even leaving California!
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.
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
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.
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 believe the quote I read from someone who knows him was something like "He microdoses ketamine daily, and macrodoses at parties"
I wonder if he pisses his pants yet? He must have K bladder by now, unless there is some super rich people secret to avoid it.
Wow, because of your comment I've googled ketamine bladder and now I can't consider K as a relatively safe drug anymore.
20 - 90 % of users got irreversible urinal tract ulceration and significantly reduced functional bladder capacity.
I have no doubts that he frequently does that, as well as other controlled substances. But it's okay for him to abuse drugs; he's rich and powerful after all! Though it would be interesting to see his head under an MRI with T2 and see how many Olney's lesions he has.
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
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.
"It's impossible to operate in San Francisco, they expect you to pay your rent "
Yeah I wonder how many billions of dollars in incentives did Texas Republicans promise that douchebag in order to get him to move to their State. And how many Texans are going to have to foot that bill.
Typical Elon, vaunting libertarianism while paying himself with Government payouts.
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.
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.
You saw the investor list, right? There’s a LOT of people on there who miiiiight not consider direct financial profitability to be the point of their investment.
Top shareholders of Twitter include:
WTF they really need to relocate the evil lair in a volcano
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?
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.
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.
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.
