X is closing San Francisco HQ and relocating staffers to San Jose

X, previously known as Twitter, is exiting its San Francisco headquarters, as communicated by CEO Linda Yaccarino. The office closure, which served as Twitter’s HQ for over a decade, will move the personnel to existing San Jose office and a new shared space with x.AI in Palo Alto. The decision comes amidst lawsuits over unpaid rent and is perceived as a blow to San Francisco’s efforts to bounce back its downtown and tech sector.

• X is the rebranded name of former social media giant Twitter.
• CEO Linda Yaccarino announced the HQ closure via an email.
• Staff will be relocated to San Jose and Palo Alto.
• The SF HQ once served as a furniture showroom.
• Musk previously hinted at a HQ shift to Texas.
