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
And that’s after he spends a ton of money to get it fixed. If he weren’t rich, he’d be bald by now, for example.
Ya, he identifies as a non-bald man. He had gender affirming care to make sure his hair is there and full.
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.
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.
For those who were also curious about a source for the claim that “Texas is 50th in the US for quality of life”: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/13/10-states-worst-quality-of-life-america.html
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.
I think you mean teXas 😂
I can’t wait until it goes blue this November and 49% of the state collectively whines about it for 4+ years.
Don’t blueball me like that.
He’ll fit right in.
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.
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.
Anyone hardcore enough to still be working at that dumpster fire is there for the long haul, they will follow Formerly Twitter in to the gates of hell, seemingly.
I’m guessing some of them (if on work visas) don’t have a lot of mobility. That doesn’t mean they will be as productive as someone else. Seeing colleagues go to other companies and being treated better on day one has a toll on worker morale.
Yeah, it’s not a big deal, but it shows or starts a trend.
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 of what, exactly? I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make 🤷♂️
Another lemmy echo chamber… It’s pointless to show another kind of opinion.
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?
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.
Blexus!?
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.

Rich people really seem to think that them just having shitloads of money in a location makes that place better. I’m a midwesterner and even I know San Francisco has serious issues from how in about a generation or two it went from a working class industrial and military city to home of several of the wealthiest companies and filled with enough upper working class people to skyrocket cost of living.
So to Elon, don’t bring X to my city either
And they are now bringing that problem to Texas. Along with a bunch of liberals.
Good. Texas is a big enough state it should be blue.
“Turn around!” they begged him, as he strode slowly towards the desert sun, but he knew enough of Lot and of Orpheus, that it would only bring them ruin if he did. So heavy was his heart, that he glanced back with melancholy love, and thus the fair city of San Francisco turned to salt. He kept on walking into that desert sun, a heavy heart keeping him anchored to calls of vultures naysaying his poor sense of direction…
~Honestly good riddance to both. I have never seen more narcissists in my life than I have in SF.~
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.
Reading some interviews with her and she does seem to think money makes right.
The fucking sink joke! Lol
correction; as twitter prepares to be evicted for non payment of rent
This is the real story, they ain’t choosin shit. They’re being kicked the fuck out. Elon takin tips from DonOld T
it is impossible to operate in San Francisco if you’re processing payments
Is it though? He talks like he still runs PayPal. All Twitter sells is adverts, blue ticks and hate.
He wants to turn twitter into Wechat, which is used for paying basically everything in China. In San Francisco you can’t just get rich by funneling money, you have to pay taxes on it.
You would still get rich but he wants it all for himself and doesn’t want to pay his debt to the United States.
debtfair share, you mean. His billions of debt that have about a billion of interest per year is another story
"It’s impossible to operate in San Francisco, they expect you to pay your rent "
Yeah I wonder how many billions of dollars in incentives did Texas Republicans promise that douchebag in order to get him to move to their State. And how many Texans are going to have to foot that bill.
Typical Elon, vaunting libertarianism while paying himself with Government payouts.
“Privatize the profits and socialize the risks.” (for billionaires)
“But we can’t let poor people get handouts. That’s socialism.”
As of 2020, all of his companies had received around 5 billion in subsidies, tax credits, and the like.
Yeah that’s what we call corporate welfare. What exactly did that 5 billion buy anybody? All it did was make that fucking asshole richer.
how many of their engineers are willing to relocate from san francisco to texas
Well, he doesn’t need a many as he used to…
Going from an apartment to a big house with a pool will change a few minds.
Does sf also have power issues?
The rich engineers weren’t the demographic affected by the “rolling” brownouts. The people in McMansions had power the entire time, while the people in apartments were shitting in grocery bags because their toilets had frozen solid from lack of power for heating.
The “rolling” brownouts were really just rolling around the same poor areas.
Oh I see thanks for info.
Makes more sense that GOP didn’t care.

No misunderstanding. I know Texas does have issues. Which is a major reason I doubt people want to move there besides all the witch hunts and other bs. A nice house in hell is not the same as apt in heaven.
sounds like obesity and depression to me
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 believe the quote I read from someone who knows him was something like “He microdoses ketamine daily, and macrodoses at parties”
I wonder if he pisses his pants yet? He must have K bladder by now, unless there is some super rich people secret to avoid it.
Wow, because of your comment I’ve googled ketamine bladder and now I can’t consider K as a relatively safe drug anymore.
20 - 90 % of users got irreversible urinal tract ulceration and significantly reduced functional bladder capacity.
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.
Good for San Francisco.
Didn’t Apartheid Lonnie refuse to pay rent for the office space for a while there? Did that ever get resolved or is he still defaulting on the rent?
Finally, NIMBYs everyone can get on board with
Hmmm, makes me think of that one Greenday song 🤔
X is going to be driven into the ground
I’d love to see it fail completely. I’m hoping that musk makes it a site that you have to pay a subscription to see anything at all on there so everyone can finally give up on it.
Billions of dollars and that’s the beard.
Beard? It looks like he hasn’t washed for a week.
