The #SocialMedia company has a long history w/the city, but billionaire entrepreneur #ElonMusk, who acquired the platform in 2022, has often used it to bash the city’s #progressive #politics & homelessness crisis.
 The social network’s departure will mark the end of an era for #SanFrancisco’s downtown #MidMarket neighborhood, where city ofcls once courted #tech companies w/incentives dubbed the “#Twitter tax break.”

#ElonMusk made deep cuts to #Twitter’s workforce when he acquired the company in Oct 2022, & #X only has about 120 employees left in #SanFrancisco…. The employees will be moved to office space in #SanJose & #PaloAlto [to the cities’ dismay], where #Musk’s #AI start-up, #xAI, operates out of, & the company will conduct a survey to figure out where individual employees want to work [somewhere unaffiliated w/Musk].
