Doing this on a few weeks notice seems rather insane to me. Unless you have very good remote work options this is very disruptive for employees.
Since Musk took over Twitter one word we could use to describe the process is "disruptive to employees"
Twitter kills its San Francisco headquarters, will relocate to South Bay

#102Probably to do with less rent, less feces, less mentally instable people, less drugs, and also Elmo's weird thought chains.

probably got kicked out since Elon did not want to pay rent. Maybe the locks got changed.
Why would X have gotten kicked out for unpaid rent? The building manager stopped any and all proceedings against X for the two months of alleged unpaid rent.
Just because you caught up with back payments doesn’t mean the landlord wants you around anymore.
Not all delinquencies may have reached the level of lawsuit, either, while still being a problem.

#104I don't know US commutes, or US geography too well. But it seems these two locations are about 45mins-1hr drive from each other. Where do folks actually live in those areas? Is it that a 30min drive north to San Fran becomes a 30min drive south to San Jose?
The Bay area is fairly constrained in terms of transportation. Commuting in a car is not possible (unless you enjoy deadlock traffic + paying for parking). Public transportation exists but only works on specific segments.
I would guess a large portion of the individuals in the SF office would live within SF/East bay and have a fairly reasonable commute going to the SF office. I am not sure how far Bart goes south now but typically you would take Caltrain so thats a 45min ride from SF to Palo Alto. Then tack on however long it takes you to get to Caltrain. Easily a 1hr commute.

How big is their network so far?
I haven't looked into it recently, however their Las Vegas network is going and expanding; 40 million people per year travel to Vegas, a great testbed and for exposure.
I wouldn't bring up the Las Vegas network if you're trying to advocate for the boring company, it's quite possibly the worst system of transportation that's ever been created. A farce in every aspect, benefiting no one.

Why do you have him blocked, and just not following him?
I don’t know if you’ve been on X lately but even if not following him you can receive push notifications from his tweets. Tested this on multiple accounts now, he’s unavoidable unless blocked and sometimes not even then because of all the bootlicker accounts that screenshot and repost his tweets. Frankly it’s made the platform unusable to me, almost nothing he posts is interesting or worth reading.
Why be on X in the first place? I lost all reason to be there about around the time of the rename.

I just have Musk muted and I never, ever see his posts nor retweets.

Doubtful narrative. In a time when occupancy is going up you would not want to kick our your anchor. Having a large company like X can help boost the rest of the area.
