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.

the king of back-assward states

Florida Man would like a word with you.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Finally, NIMBYs everyone can get on board with

Although i hate hearing about him, i do like seeing his face and body rapidly deteriorating.

It's not deteriorating, it's just entering its final cybertruck form

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.

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.

Don't be Texas, don't be Texas....

* checks Google *

FUCK!

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.

Texas, where woke goes to die.

Sorry, I meant Florida. Texas is going purple baby! :::

Weeps in despair in South Carolina

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

All but 2 states honestly.....

I agree. I just have no idea how to motivate folks to do that. Hence the despair.

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...

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

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

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.

T2? As in the spin relaxation time?

Maybe they mean Terminator. I wouldn't be surprised if he is working another job now, the economy is rough.
