Businesses and citizens might be fleeing San Francisco and California by the thousands, but the owner of &#8220;X&#8221; — formerly known as &#8220;Twitter&#8221; — is keeping his social media company in the Golden Gate City.
Why? Fittingly enough, Musk took to &#8220;X&#8221; to explain.
&#8220;Many have offered rich incentives for X (fka Twitter) to move its HQ out of San Francisco,&#8221; he tweeted. &#8220;Moreover, the city is in a doom spiral with one company after another left or leaving. Therefore, they expect X will move too. We will not.&#8221;

We will not. 
You only know who your real friends are when…
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1685437228967686144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 29, 2023</a></blockquote>
Perhaps he&#8217;s trying to put the prayer of the city&#8217;s namesake — St. Francis — into action. A portion of that prayer says, &#8220;Where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.&#8221;
Replete with lawlessness, homelessness, and drug abuse, there is plenty of doubt, despair, darkness, and sadness in San Francisco to go around. It seems Musk is choosing to bring faith, hope, light, and joy to the city.
&#8220;You only know who your real friends are when the chips are down,&#8221; he tweeted. &#8220;San Francisco, beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we will always be your friend.&#8221;
Over the weekend, Musk also put a gigantic glowing &#8220;X&#8221; on top of the company&#8217;s office building:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Our HQ in San Francisco tonight <a href="https://t.co/VQO2NoX9Tz">pic.twitter.com/VQO2NoX9Tz</a>
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1685211486669484032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 29, 2023</a></blockquote>
Within hours of it going up, the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection wanted to see if it met code compliance regulations but was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-x-sign-elon-musk-authorities-say-unsafe-cant-inspect-2023-7?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=business-sf&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> denied access to the rooftop by X employees on Friday and Saturday.
Another photo posted by Musk shows how bright the light truly is:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<a href="https://t.co/5YdlVQifRn">pic.twitter.com/5YdlVQifRn</a>

That has some neighbors complaining that it is a nuisance.
&#8220;Around 11 last night they had it at full blast, strobing, and it lit this entire area up like it was daylight,&#8221; Christopher Beale, a journalist who lives nearby the sign, <a href="https://www.ktvu.com/news/x-formerly-twitter-installed-a-lit-up-sign-atop-its-hq-not-everyone-is-thrilled" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> KTVU. &#8220;Even with the shades down…, it was to the point where we couldn&#8217;t even watch the movie we were trying to watch in the living room and we had to move to the other side of the apartment.&#8221;

Perhaps Musk simply wanted to tell the world that &#8220;X&#8221; is here to stay.
&#8220;Blaze Your Glory!!&#8221; he also tweeted:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Blaze Your Glory!!
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1685885578091352066?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 31, 2023</a></blockquote>
Ultimately,  X is Elon Musk&#8217;s company, and he can do with it what he wants. Perhaps he&#8217;ll do something the San Francisco city government has been unable to do: Reverse its decline.
