    This will have very little effect on SF in the long-term 😂🤣 All of their staff that was here are going to stay here - they’re not going to follow fucking X to whatever ass-backwards state Musk chooses

    So, to recap:

    • we have a huge office that will eventually bring in another major company,
    • the area keeps all of its best talent, and
    • we get rid of the grifter that regularly refuses to pay their rent/lease, taxes, and insurance bills?

    Hell yeah, of course this is a win.

      whatever ass-backwards state Musk chooses

      Pretty sure he’s headed to Texas.

      I imagine most of whoever is left at Twitter is on a visa, so yeah, they probably will follow Musk wherever he says to go. The alternative is people rip their families away from their homes that they’ve probably built over the years and move back to their old country.

      Now, if Biden were to grant the power to protect re-employment to other companies for those on L visas, Musk is probably utterly fucked.

        Musk is very anti-remote-work, so they have to do this anyway. Moving to Texas is only slightly less jarring than moving back to their home country which, in my experience, most people on visas visit regularly anyway.

      Anyone hardcore enough to still be working at that dumpster fire is there for the long haul, they will follow Formerly Twitter in to the gates of hell, seemingly.

        I’m guessing some of them (if on work visas) don’t have a lot of mobility. That doesn’t mean they will be as productive as someone else. Seeing colleagues go to other companies and being treated better on day one has a toll on worker morale.

      All of their staff that was here are going to stay here - they’re not going to follow fucking Xitter

      At this point, for how he treated his employees, we can assume that most of the ones left are visa hostages that would be deported the day after being fired or incompetent people that faked their way to the spot and can’t find another job that pays the same. Or musk stans, but he fired even that simp that slept in the office floor in order to be more “productive”.

      They are trapped and follow him everywhere

        Depends on the visa, but usually you get a grace period to find another job. Not a walk in the park but no one is getting auto-deported either.
