X Corporation will close its maiden office in San Francisco, the facility opened 17 years ago when Twitter Inc. was founded, The New York Times (NYT) reported on Monday, citing an email Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Linda Yaccarino sent to the employees.
According to the email, the plan is to relocate the workers to X's existing premises in San Jose, California. She also confirmed the opening of an engineering department in Palo Alto, where xAI, X's subsidiary dedicated to developing artificial intelligence (AI), is based. "This is an important decision that impacts many of you, but it is the right one for our company in the long term," Yaccarino concluded.
The report came shortly after owner Elon Musk announced his plan to move the company's headquarters to Texas due to his disagreements with California Governor Gavin Newsom's certain policies.
