X to close flagship San Francisco office

X, the social media company owned by Elon Musk, plans to shut its San Francisco office “over the next few weeks”, according to an internal email distributed this week.

In the email X chief executive Linda Yaccarino sent to employees, the company said workers would move to existing offices in San Jose, California. X will also open an engineering-focused office in Palo Alto, California, which it will share with xAI, the artificial intelligence outfit owned by Musk, the email said.
