Blow up the building.

Elon trolls San Francisco.

A bunch of youth steal a sedan and drive it over the edge of a building onto the street, only for the San Francisco authorities to fail to prosecute.
But they have plenty of time to whine over an X sign over the Twitter building.

Your comment reminds me of a Jefferson Airplane song from their first album. Especially with regard to the wealth of Elon.

Tobacco Road (song)- about a guy (girl?) that is born and raised in a dump of a small town:

...I’m gonna leave and get me a job
With the help and the grace of God
I’m gonna save my money, get rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road

Bring Dynamite, big old crane
Blow it up, tear it down, start all over again
Build me a town be very proud to show
Keep the name of Tobacco Road...

Elon is wasting time in SF. Should relocate the hq to Austin.

I forget what some have estimated the permitting and meeting code requirements is for a new home in Seattle. But it is a LOT. I seem to recall 100k on a million dollar home, but that seems far too high.

Everything down to the number and type of plantings the property needs to have.

Musk declared staying in San Francisco, let’s see if the idiots running the city screw that up and cause him to move.

This all goes along with, “you don’t own the property you bought, you just rent it” (property tax)...

Does Musk own that building or lease space there? If it's leased, I wonder how close it is to renewal time.

And if he owns it, maybe it could be converted into housing units for the poor and unhoused. Great location - very near where the need is located.

That’s okay I’m certain that they can find a replacement tenant in that property when Musk moves his HQ and all those jobs to texas. Just think of all the perks the homeless will enjoy soiling.

Actually, “Tobacco Road” was by a British group “The Nashville Teens”

As a teen experiencing the British Invasion, lots of great music that left the “Bubble Gum” genre in its wake.

Why Musk continues to operate his business his business in San Fran Sicko
is a mystery to me.

Musk confirmed last week that Twitter or X was not leaving the Bay Area. I guess the powers that be decided to double down on their efforts to drive him out of town.

Now, if they had been writing “BLM,” or “FDJT” instead, they wouldn’t have disturbed them. But “X” is cultural appropriation from the Nation of Islam acolytes of Malcom X.
