Elon Musk said last month he was tired of “dodging gangs of violent drug addicts” just to get into X’s San Francisco headquarters. Now he’s closing it for good.
A New York Times reporter wrote on X that the company would close its San Francisco headquarters “in the next few weeks.”
CEO Linda Yaccarino wrote in an email to X employees that employees will move to offices in San Jose. X will also open a new office in Palo Alto, where it will share space with xAI, reported die Times.

News of the move comes just weeks after Musk announced his plans to move both X and SpaceX’s headquarters to Texas. The billionaire cited California laws that he said attack “both families and businesses” as the reason for the move.
The measure, which took effect in California, prohibits a “forced disclosure” policy that requires schools to inform parents when their children change their gender identity.
Musk announced in July that X would move its headquarters to Austin and join his other companies. But that doesn’t seem to be happening — at least not yet.
X did not immediately respond to a request from BI seeking comment.
