San Francisco's relationship with X, the social media company previously known as Twitter, is coming to an end as Elon Musk prepares to move its headquarters to Texas. The city's officials are not mourning the departure, as the company no longer resembles the one that was once enticed to the neighborhood with a tax break. The pandemic and Musk's acquisition of the company led to a significant reduction in its workforce, turning the headquarters into a ghost town. The initial tax break was aimed at revitalizing the Mid-Market neighborhood, but the company's exit has been met with indifference from city officials, signaling a shift in their willingness to cater to companies considering a move. The departure of X follows a period of tension between Musk and the city over tax policies and liberal politics. The company's relocation marks the end of an era for San Francisco, which once saw Twitter as a symbol of its status as a start-up capital. The move also reflects a broader trend of tech companies reassessing their presence in the city amid changing work dynamics and economic conditions. Despite the departure's impact on office vacancies, the city's chief economist suggests that X's exit will have minimal financial repercussions. The departure of X and its transformation under Musk's leadership serve as a reflection of the evolving relationship between tech companies and cities like San Francisco, as well as the shifting dynamics of the tech industry itself.
