Elon Musk last month said he was sick of “dodging gangs of violent drug addicts” just to get into X’s San Francisco headquarters. Now, he’s closing it for good.
A New York Times reporter posted on X that the company would close its San Francisco headquarters “over the next few weeks.” CEO Linda Yaccarino wrote in an email to X employees that workers would move to offices in San Jose. X will also open a new office in Palo Alto where it will share space with xAI, the Times reported.
This news follows Musk’s announcement to relocate X and SpaceX headquarters to Texas, citing California laws that attack “both families and companies.” The new California law prohibits schools from informing parents if their children change their gender identification.
Musk had previously mentioned moving X’s headquarters to Austin, but that plan appears to be on hold. X did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI.
