Elon should leave Earth

Mars Needs Morons

ImWaitingForRetcons ,

Considering SpaceX’s track record… I’m very eager for Elon and his other billionaire buddies to get on a rocket headed for Mars.

pennomi ,

It has a fabulous track record, what are you talking about? Falcon 9 has had like 1 anomaly in the last 300 flights.

ImWaitingForRetcons ,

I’m referring to the rockets intended for travelling to the moon and beyond (primarily the Starship), which has already failed thrice, has innumerable issues and massive cost overruns.

pennomi ,

That’s ridiculous, all launch vehicles have cost overruns. And judging Starship by a pre-production vehicle is also hilariously out of touch. Wait until they’re launching payloads and then make your point.

ImWaitingForRetcons ,

Look, I understand your point. And to be fair, they genuinely are reading new ground with reusable rockets. But not only are competitors catching up, cost overruns and time delays do matter in the context of NASA, considering how their budgets keeps getting negatively affected and the Artemis project is suffering setbacks. They don’t have the scope to tolerate what’s happening.

pennomi ,

Sure, it might matter if there were any other alternative… like what, SLS? If you want to talk about cost overruns and time delays, look no further. That rocket costs over a billion per launch. Maybe New Glenn will surprise us?

If there were literally any other way, I’d want NASA to pick it for Artemis. Heck, some sort of lander system assembled in orbit from multiple Falcon Heavy launches would be my vote.

They can call it the “Trytanic” or something and we can all laugh when it gets hit by an icy comet

You mean he's not moving to Florida or Texas or Alabama? The places where America's "smartest" folks live?

HubertManne ,

I think their headquarters being in bama would make the most sense.

Nougat ,

Moving a corporate headquarters, in this case presumably one where a huge proportion of the business operations actually happen, is expensive. What could go wrong?

Hopefully everything.

My employer closed down its former HQ on the east coast & moved it to Austin in 2019. Much of the old HQ contained engineering teams. The CEO explained that all engineering was shifting to 100% remote so that they could start hiring the best tech talent they could find no matter where they lived. All non-technical jobs (finance, HR, marketing, etc) were moved to an existing office in Austin, where he said it would be relatively easy to hire from the talent available in that area.

I’ve been working remotely for 5 years now and really enjoy it. I’m also working not only with folks from all over the US, but globally now as well.

Employees in San Francisco reportedly will be moved to new locations in the Bay Area, “including the existing office in San Jose and a new engineering focused shared space with [xAI, Musk’s AI startup] in Palo Alto,” the note said. The company’s executive team is said to be working on “transportation options” for staff. X did not respond to WIRED’s request for comment.

Anyone who hasn’t already fled that sinking ship now gets to spend an extra 3-4h per day commuting to work there. I’m sure that’ll be great for talent retention.

Schmuppes ,

Transportation options? Maybe they can dig a long-ass tunnel exclusively for Tesla taxis.

Congratulations SF

Austin doesn’t want him either.

I wouldn’t be so sure. There’s a lot of Elon stans here.

TL;DR: They’re moving the SF office to Austin.

But do read this part:

The latest update from Yaccarino suggests it’s the San Francisco office, specifically, that is the thorn in X’s side. And it’s an about-face for Musk, who tweeted a year ago that, despite incentives to move out of San Francisco, X would not move its HQ out of the city. “You only know who your real friends are when the chips are down,” he waxed poetically on X. “San Francisco, beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we will always be your friend.”

Hydra_Fk ,

Oh look nobody cares.

Ghostalmedia ,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

The employees that now have to spend an extra 2-3 hours commuting probably care quite a bit.

crawancon ,

if they’re there, that’s their choice.

Ghostalmedia ,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

For a lot of them, absolutely. Not all though. A lot of tech companies have been cutting back lately, and it’s pretty rough out there for certain roles. I know a lot of people that have been sticking out jobs they hate for a year+ while they interview and try to find something with similar comp.

The HB1 can’t leave Twitter without leaving the US.

MadhuGururajan ,

Theharpyeagle , (edited )

To be fair, the tech job market is in a pretty shit position right now. For many people it’s not possible to leave their current job, even if they hate it (ask me how I know).

Hydra_Fk ,

Oh no 🙄 anyway.

Sadly, Austin.

I just recently moved out after over twenty years there. I dearly love that town and it breaks my heart to shit shitbags like Elon and Joe Rogan bring their toxic crowds to town. Austin deserves better.

Why would I read an article about Elon when I can better spend that time dunking on him in the comments?

FlowVoid ,

The article says they are moving to San Jose and Palo Alto.

Ghostalmedia ,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

If only there was some sort of article that contained that information.

Morti ,

I was going for the joke:

Elon Musk’s (e)X is leaving San Francisco

Twitter moving to mid-market was pretty controversial because of the tax breaks the mayor lavished on them. But a lot of condos went up in the area.

Wondering if anyone still working at Twitter bought a condo just so they could be within walking distance of work.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Ok bye!

He’s finally turning it into a homeless shelter!
