X owner Elon Musk’s plan to move the social media platform’s headquarters out of San Francisco has some city officials eager to bid farewell to the billionaire’s business.
The outlet noted that San Francisco Mayor London Breed said she had met with Musk “several months ago” but that she didn’t extend offers aimed at keeping X in the city, saying, “I’m not going to beg anybody.”
The report comes after Musk announced last month that he will move the company’s headquarters to Texas in response to a new law enacted by the state of California that prohibits schools from notifying parents if their children want to change their gender identity.
Musk said at the time that X’s headquarters would move to Austin, Texas, while he also announced that SpaceX would relocate its headquarters from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.
A pedestrian photographing the new stylized 'X' Twitter logo at the company's headquarters in San Francisco 3 “I share the perspective that most San Franciscans have, which is good riddance,” city attorney David Chiu told The New York Times.
He cited the gender identity law as being “the final straw” and attributed the move to “this law and the many others that preceded it...
The billionaire has been critical of policies enabling gender transitions for children and in a recent interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson said he was “essentially tricked into signing documents” for his child Xavier, who now goes by Vivian Jenna Wilson, to be treated with puberty blockers.
“I lost my son, essentially. They call it deadnaming for a reason. The reason it’s called deadnaming is because your son is dead. My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus,” Musk said. “I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that.”

“I’m not going to beg anybody.”
I bet she would if it was a CCP business.
THE EMPLOYEES WHO NO LONGER HAVE A JOB PROBABLY HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT OPINION.
F'in idiots.
City officials are going to be doing a lot of bidding farewell to businesses that are about to leave the city. The place is a s___hole that isn’t going to rebound.
Good riddance to San Francisco...it’s a goner.
Welcome to Texas Elon Musk. California’s loss and Texas’s gain. I also like your rockets now based in South Texas. It is time to give Musk Texas citizenship.
Whatever comes to San Francisco as a result of this, congratulations. You arrogant bastards deserve it.
San Francisco is the next Detroit.
Giants baseball players are complaining about having to play in the city. Even though it's at a beautiful location.
“I share the perspective that most San Franciscans have, which is good riddance,” city attorney David Chiu told The New York Times.
When the zombies run out of drugs or the illegals decide to take over, and get rid of the mayor and the attorney, "Good riddance" will be the overall sentiment of the country.

I once lived not far from San Francisco. I liked the city’s old architecture.
My wife and I went out to Alcatraz, after the movie. It was disappointing. There were photos of the beautiful little fort that was there before the hippies destroyed it.
I expect the same to happen to San Francisco. It will be burned to the ground once it is full of sh_t and the toilets no longer work.
Austin isn’t much better
Yeah, I remember going to Nordstroms from Fisherman’s Wharf on the trolley and the city was PACKED. Businesses everywhere.
Now it’s all gone.
Used to be a magnificent city...more of an “experience” thwn a city. Started long downhill fall in 60’s with flower children, hippies etc.
If you’re a California greenie, there are a lot of positive aspects to making San Francisco exactly like Detroit: lower “greenhouse gas” emissions, less light pollution, more unpaved streets/less runoff, more affordable residential & business real estate, and likely a far more racially diverse & less oppressive society...
