Although i hate hearing about him, i do like seeing his face and body rapidly deteriorating.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's not deteriorating, it's just entering its final cybertruck form

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And that's after he spends a ton of money to get it fixed. If he weren't rich, he'd be bald by now, for example.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ya, he identifies as a non-bald man. He had gender affirming care to make sure his hair is there and full.

I would be happy if all tech left the city. It used to be a hipster village of social non challants and detected alternative social movements. A shining, hairy, culty, body odor having, punk rock city on a hill.

The tech takeover ruined the city and contributed directly to the epidemic levels of homelessness seen because it made the city effectively so expensive non millionaires can't survive there. Most long time san Francisco families ended up moving out.

Take all the rest of tech with you please Mr. Musk. Make San Francisco an affordable city again.

It's too late, the landleeches have already taken over. Any city remotely worth living in is too expensive to live in, and will remain that way until we eliminate the landleech class.

Don't be Texas, don't be Texas....

FUCK!

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago

it literally could not be anywhere else. Texas is a safe-space for oligarchs and bigots. That's why Elon and Joe Rogan and all these other asshats left CA for TX.

Texas, where woke goes to die.

Sorry, I meant Florida. Texas is going purple baby!

Young people need to register and vote. If they did, SC would be blue reliably.

All but 2 states honestly.....

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I agree. I just have no idea how to motivate folks to do that. Hence the despair.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

This might not be the answer, but it is important. This is one of the last videos Beau did before he retired and his wife is taking over. It is still one of my favorite channels, but keep this in mind especially for the next several months, and beyond if things don't go our way.

Let's talk about maintaining hope...

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

Pretty sure he's headed to Texas.

Texas is 50th in the US for quality of life. How they managed to be worse than the other Gulf states is baffling. Abbott and Paxton have managed to turn Texas into a raging dumpster fire. If Texas actually left the US, it probably wouldn't even be able to get a membership in BRICS.

Jeez, Texas losing to Mississippi is embarrassing considering that by any measure it’s a failed state. The Jackson water crisis alone should have them scrambling on par with Michigan post Flint.

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.

it is impossible to operate in San Francisco if you’re processing payments

Is it though? He talks like he still runs PayPal. All Twitter sells is adverts, blue ticks and hate.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

He wants to turn twitter into Wechat, which is used for paying basically everything in China. In San Francisco you can't just get rich by funneling money, you have to pay taxes on it.

You would still get rich but he wants it all for himself and doesn't want to pay his debt to the United States.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

~~debt~~ fair share, you mean. His billions of debt that have about a billion of interest per year is another story

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

"It's impossible to operate in San Francisco, they expect you to pay your rent "

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I wonder how many billions of dollars in incentives did Texas Republicans promise that douchebag in order to get him to move to their State. And how many Texans are going to have to foot that bill.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Typical Elon, vaunting libertarianism while paying himself with Government payouts.

"Privatize the profits and socialize the risks." (for billionaires)

"But we can't let poor people get handouts. That's socialism."

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

As of 2020, all of his companies had received around 5 billion in subsidies, tax credits, and the like.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah that's what we call corporate welfare. What exactly did that 5 billion buy anybody? All it did was make that fucking asshole richer.

correction; as twitter prepares to be evicted for non payment of rent

This is the real story, they ain't choosin shit. They're being kicked the fuck out. Elon takin tips from DonOld T

how many of their engineers are willing to relocate from san francisco to texas

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Well, he doesn't need a many as he used to...

Going from an apartment to a big house with a pool will change a few minds.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Does sf also have power issues?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The rich engineers weren’t the demographic affected by the “rolling” brownouts. The people in McMansions had power the entire time, while the people in apartments were shitting in grocery bags because their toilets had frozen solid from lack of power for heating.

The “rolling” brownouts were really just rolling around the same poor areas.

Didn't Apartheid Lonnie refuse to pay rent for the office space for a while there? Did that ever get resolved or is he still defaulting on the rent?
