    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.

      whatever ass-backwards state Musk chooses

      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 can’t wait until it goes blue this November and 49% of the state collectively whines about it for 4+ years.

        As a native Texan, this shit just keeps piling up and I cannot be more stoked. They’re so close to flipping our state.

        At one point they were only keeping the desperate H-1B visa workers. I don’t know if that’s still the case, or how many of those workers are Asian or South Asian, but they might not want to move to whatever anti-woke place Musk wants to put X next.

      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.

        Musk is very anti-remote-work, so they have to do this anyway. Moving to Texas is only slightly less jarring than moving back to their home country which, in my experience, most people on visas visit regularly anyway.

      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

        Depends on the visa, but usually you get a grace period to find another job. Not a walk in the park but no one is getting auto-deported either.

      Its weird Peter Thiel hasn’t followed him. Both of them are just awful, you’d think they’d synergize

        Of? Companies leaving CA due to liberal laws? That’s kinda been CA’s thing since forever.

          Another lemmy echo chamber… It’s pointless to show another kind of opinion. And I’m not far right or anything. I don’t even care about US politics.

            An echo chamber for calling CA liberal? That’s just well documented reality my guy.

            You don’t care about US politics, which means you probably don’t know much about them. So it very much seems like you’re speaking about something you don’t care or know about. Then when I, a person who does very much care about US politics, chimes in with insight you call it an echo chamber.

            Honestly, it seems like you want to just say whatever you like and then rant and dismiss anyone who knows the topic and pushes back. Ironically, that sounds exactly like how an echo chamber works lol.

            Sounds like you maybe just have a habit of entering conversations on topics you don’t know much about (and in this case self-admittedly don’t even care about), so you get a lot of people who are more informed and do care expressing their disagreement with you?

            Have you considered just not doing that?

            An echo chamber of what, exactly? I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make 🤷‍♂️
