Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino sent an email to employees saying X will move out of its Market Street space in San Francisco.
FILE – A workman removes a character from a sign on the Twitter headquarters building in San Francisco, Monday, July 24, 2023. Elon Musk may want to send “tweet” back to the birds, but the ubiquitous term for posting on the site he now calls X is here to stay, at least for now. For one, the word is still plastered all over the website formerly known as Twitter. Write a post, you still need to press a blue button that says “tweet” to publish it. To repost it, you still tap “retweet.
X didn’t respond to a request for comment. The New York Times earlier reported the news of X’s office closing. The move marks the end of X’s long history in the city where Twitter was started almost 20 years ago. The social-media app has had its Market Street office since 2012 — it agreed to move into the Mid-Market neighborhood after receiving a special tax break, along with other tech companies. For a time, the area flourished with office workers, busy restaurants and new apartment complexes.
A spokesperson for San Francisco Mayor London Breed said her office is aware of Musk’s plans to relocate employees. “Our focus remains on working with and supporting the many businesses that call SF home, from global headquarters to leading AI companies, and thousands of small businesses,” the spokesperson wrote in an emailed statement.
