He consistently surprises me on how big a piece of shit he is. He could have just said it was because it was a better business environment but he had to go the shitty route and blame trans people.

"my kid is trans and won't talk to me because I'm a huge piece of shit, waah".

That's the reason he's doing this.

Please host the Twitter servers in Texas. It would be nice for the internet to improve each day the poorly managed Texas power grid dies.

k bye

Alternate title: "Billionaire that doesn’t contribute anything to the local community threatens to go away"

It’s the same as people saying we shouldn’t raise taxes for the ultra rich because they will go away, as if they didn’t benefit from the tax paid services for free

Fuck off shit bag, we're full

He should move back to South Africa, but I assume he doesn't like it that much anymore since they officially abolished apartheid

He is such a creep about trans people

Can’t roll my eyes any harder or they would pop out of my head.

"Oversexed oligarch with mental capabilities of a toddler on cocaine unwilling to admit to world how horrible of a businessman he is, grabs ball, runs away crying, blaming Trans community for his woes."

He can make his own power grid

I ALSO would move MY Business if I wasn't allowed to Talk About Children's Genitals! Also DRAG QUEENS are Perverts (but I NEED to be able to Discuss 5 year olds Genitals!)!

Can someone explain this to me. What does student policy have to do with space or online posts?

I really doubt that that’s the actual reason. It’s just convenient to blame trans people.

Imagine if federal agencies weren't allowed to work with businesses that have that kind of political stance... One can dream...

I hope this move bleeds talent and destroys both companies. I mean, I get that X already probably lost everyone who could get a different job (making people on visas hostages) but this should empty out the last of those who have the ability to leave and haven't done so already.

Living in Hawthorne myself (the place SpaceX is in now) I don't get the sense it's doing the city all that good. I think they get major tax breaks or something, since the area is pretty run down except for it's immediate area. It's fairly industrial / commercial but there's a closed down mall, boarded up shops, etc.

I hope this is a punch in the gut the fools running the city need to start dealing with it's real problems. :/

He's eventually going to move to Russia and try to take all the SpaceX Technology with him.

Wonder how many of the engineers will follow him. Idk if this is true but felt like Twitter was one of the top places / most desirable places to work, you got to solve high scale, highly visible problems to help people communicate along with the standard silicon valley amenities. Now with the musk take over I doubt they're having luck finding the best talent. Will be fun to see it decay over the coming years.

Is he paying to move the staff along with? Because Austin is almost as expensive as SF.

Good. Tech workers are a scourge on cities.
