    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      Yeah I think he is expecting an Atlas Shrugged moment. where everything collapses as the intellectuals (him) walk away from the foolish socity.

        It’s funny, I just finished Atlas Shrugged and it’s crazy how Ayn Rand got it wrong about those who can “do” must also have the highest moral standards.

      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.

          Young people need to register and vote. If they did, SC would be blue reliably.

          All but 2 states honestly…

              This might not be the answer, but it is important. This is one of the last videos Beau did before he retired and his wife is taking over. It is still one of my favorite channels, but keep this in mind especially for the next several months, and beyond if things don’t go our way.

              Let’s talk about maintaining hope…
