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.

Yaccarino

There's a name I'd forgotten. Let's go back to that.

Hooray! Don't come back.

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

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 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.

Good riddance!

"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!"

Don't let the gigantic dildo nailed to the door hit you on the way out... actually, do.

Austin doesn't want him either.

I wouldn’t be so sure. There’s a lot of Elon stans here.

There's not as many as you'd think, it's just they're all so loud and every single one of them has an eyesore of a cybertruck. It's like confirmation bias.

Yeah, probably. I just hate all the fascistmobiles I see rolling down the road.
