Elon Musk floats idea of dual Twitter headquarters in Texas and California

[TexasTowelie]

Even before Elon Musk completed his deal to acquire Twitter, there was speculation the billionaire might move the social media company's headquarters from San Francisco to Austin, which has become a center of operations for Tesla and other Musk-led companies.

Musk has said little publicly about the possibility until this week, when he was asked about it during a meeting with Twitter employees.

While saying he currently "does not intend" to move Twitter's headquarters to Texas, Musk left open the possibility that some of Twitter's operations could be moved to the Lone Star State, according reports from technology news sites.

During the meeting, Musk said he not ruled out adding a second headquarters in Texas, according to a report from tech publication the Verge. Musk said it could make sense to “dual headquarter” the company in California and Texas. The report said the Verge had spoken to two people who attended and had obtained a partial recording of the meeting.

1. So Twitter would fall under Texas law? Abbott law? For conservative Texas-type issues?

Like vote suppression, free speech?

5. Get the one he has off the ground before he thinks about another one.

6. Yeah, that'll fix the problems at Twitter

I'm still at a loss as to why Musk wanted to buy the platform. It was a money loser and now it's a hot mess.

Perhaps he has too much money and not enough common sense?

7. Assuming Twitter is still in business...

Musk has taken a wrecking ball to the platform.
