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.

Pretty sure he's headed to Texas.

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.

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

In his fantasies the libruls of San Francisco begged him to stay and he looked at them with a cool grin on his face and said "Let that sink in" as he came in his pants.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

"Turn around!" they begged him, as he strode slowly towards the desert sun, but he knew enough of Lot and of Orpheus, that it would only bring them ruin if he did. So heavy was his heart, that he glanced back with melancholy love, and thus the fair city of San Francisco turned to salt. He kept on walking into that desert sun, a heavy heart keeping him anchored to calls of vultures naysaying his poor sense of direction....

~Honestly good riddance to both. I have never seen more narcissists in my life than I have in SF.~

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Rich people really seem to think that them just having shitloads of money in a location makes that place better. I’m a midwesterner and even I know San Francisco has serious issues from how in about a generation or two it went from a working class industrial and military city to home of several of the wealthiest companies and filled with enough upper working class people to skyrocket cost of living.

So to Elon, don’t bring X to my city either

Bye Nazi-toddler, don’t let our tolerance and diversity hit your ketamine addicted ass on its way out, you piece of human garbage.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (12 children)

He’s addicted to ketamine? I would’ve guessed cocaine

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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.

I hate that ketamine has to be catching so many strays lately... Don't blame K for this idiot.

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Top shareholders of Twitter include:

  1. Elon Musk (owns 78.7% of the company)
  2. Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal (5.7%)
  3. Oracle’s founder Larry Ellison (3.0%)

WTF they really need to relocate the evil lair in a volcano

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?

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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!
