    Last month Musk said that he has had “enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building.”

    Are the roving gangs of violent drug addicts in the room with us now? Or do they go to a different school?

      Lol… The Twitter offices are even in a nicer area of the SF business district. I’ve walked around that building many times in the middle of the night and during the day and have never felt unsafe.

      What a weirdo.

      Funny, he used the exact same wording of the bots I see on Twitter and FB describing cities.

      Like he ever saw anyone going in or out. Guaranteed he had a driver and security with him at every moment.

      I’m guessing if he ever did have an actual homeless person accost him he’d wet himself.

    I love when anti-progressive people “take a stand” against California by moving to Texas, and then they move to the most famously progressive city in Texas.

    Austin: For those who are stupid enough to relocate based on culture war bullshit, but not stupid enough to think that you’re hiring software developers and creatives out in the boonies.

      Aka “the taxes are lower for us”.

      Also Chevron was leaving. Fucking bye. Two shit companies not in Cali. Oh no, two of the worst companies have left, all we have left now are the thousands of startups, Google, apple, Microsoft, Uber, Lyft, and hundreds more.

      Plus the only reason xitter could leave is because they laid off 90% of your staff, and tbh this is probably another silent layoff. (Uproot your families and move to Texas or you willingly quit). So yeah, moving 20 people and hiring 10 in Austin probably isn’t too difficult anymore.

        Oh no, two of the worst companies have left, all we have left now are (…) Google, apple, Microsoft, Uber

        So, all that’s left is even worse? ;-)

      Also, the easiest way – by far – to get a job in Austin is to not already be in Austin. God help you once you’re already here and get laid off.

    Don’t leave me hanging, what happened to the rice? Will the bag make it? Where do I I send my thoughts and prayers?

      The bag seems to be fine, but we still don’t know what butterfly effects it will have to its surrounding. I quote a local farmer:

      Yawn

    Is this Technology or Elon Musk subcommunity? Seems like a top 1 topic here.
