After some Ads on social media, Elon Musk is officially closing down X's headquarters in San Francisco.

On Monday, New York Times reported that the company's main Market Square office and longtime headquarters will close in the coming weeks, citing an internal memo to employees written by CEO Linda Yaccarino.

“This is an important decision that affects many of you, but is the right one for our company in the long term,” Yaccarino reportedly wrote, noting the company's existing offices in nearby San Jose and an engineering office in Palo Alto shared with xAI. would remain open. Displaced employees would be transferred to these locations.

X, formerly Twitter, has occupied the Market Square building since 2012, although the company was originally founded in 2006.

Musk confirmed the news on X, replying to a post containing the original New York Times article.

“No solution. It's impossible to operate in San Francisco if you're processing payments,” Musk wrote. “That's why Stripe, Block (CashApp) and others had to move.”
