When Jack Dorsey founded Twitter, the firm had historically operated from California. The decision from Elon Musk comes following unfavorable State laws under the government of Governor Gavin Newsom. California has suddenly become a place of terror for many American citizens for a number of reasons including racism, high standard of living, high crime rate and housing crises amongst others. Even Musk claimed to have dodged violent attacks from gangs of drug addicts severally.
Therefore, it is no surprise that Elon Musk is making this move with X. The announcement met with different reactions from X users, with a majority of them applauding the move. Though the timeline for the relocation remains unknown, it will mark a historic shift for the company and its staffs.
Cardano CEO Concerned For X And Musk’s Safety
The Elon Musk relocation announcement for X headquarters and SpaceX comes only a few days after Cardano CEO Charles Hoskinson issued an important safety warning on the billionaire investor.
Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States was attacked on Saturday during a campaign in Pennsylvania. He narrowly escaped the assassin attack with a bruise on his right ear. Fearing for Musk’s life, Hoskinson stated that those who push for change tend to experience some form of tragedy. It was either in the form of social destruction, legal harassment and imprisonment, and then assassination by a “lone wolf.”
Hoskinson feels like Musk is gradually nearing this last phase that involves assassination. Hence, the decision to move out of California may be a good one.
In another form of security for users and employees of X, Hoskinson has offered to integrate Decentralized Identity (DID) on X for free.
