X shutting down its longtime San Francisco headquarters on Friday the 13th: report

Elon Musk's social media site X (formerly Twitter) has officially set a date to close its longtime San Francisco headquarters, according to reports.

Well-known sources Told Fortune Company X emailed employees on Thursday informing them that its Market Street office would close on Sept. 13, a date that happened to be a Friday, the news outlet noted.

FOX Business has reached out to X for comment.

Musk announced last month that he would be relocating his and SpaceX's global headquarters out of California after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill banning schools from informing parents of their children's gender identity.

Musk said at the time that SpaceX's headquarters would move to Austin, Texas, and also announced that SpaceX's headquarters would move from Hawthorne, California to Starbase, Texas.

He said the Gender Identity Act was the “final straw” and attributed the move to “this legislation and many other laws that came before it which have attacked both families and businesses”.
