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.

Jeez, Texas losing to Mississippi is embarrassing considering that by any measure it’s a failed state. The Jackson water crisis alone should have them scrambling on par with Michigan post Flint.

To use an analogy, Mississippi will kick a puppy if it crosses its path Texas is outright looking for a puppy to kick.
