Elon Musk’s X is leaving San Francisco. City officials say ‘good riddance.’

San Francisco’s long relationship with X is nearly over — and city officials are far from heartbroken.

Elon Musk is shuttering his social media company’s headquarters in the coming weeks and will move its last employees based there south to offices in Palo Alto and San Jose, California. New headquarters will be set up in Texas.

But city officials are not lamenting the exit. X bears little resemblance to the company that San Francisco wooed with a tax break more than a decade ago, when it was Twitter, to help anchor a budding tech hub in a downtown neighborhood known as Mid-Market. The pandemic, and Musk’s 2022 acquisition of the company and subsequent gutting of its workforce, reduced the headquarters to a ghost town.
