Take a wild guess which company was the largest employer in that area (mid-market) that just so happened to lay off 83% (+?) of their workforce in the past 13 months... What an absolute dolt.

and to correct, Elon... Twitter is located *near* downtown SF (2-3 neighborhoods southwest), in an area where under previous management could build cheaply and receive massive tax breaks from city government, in such an area which guess what, was skid row before twitter and will be skid row when twitter has gone to the social media graveyard.
Twitter couldn't afford downtown SF which is why they ended up on 10th/Market, former home of a cockroach-laden buffet and budget motel.

this is absolutely true. even when everyone worked downtown pre pandemic, that stretch of market was miserable. lots of downtown SF is miserable now, but musk owning twitter hasn't done anything to improve it, indeed, his laying off tons of people has probably made things worse as now there are fewer customers to frequent the businesses around the office.
anyway why do I care what this dumb fuck thinks, everything he says is wrong and is always wrong.

In one particularly alarming anecdote, the writer recounts how during one "spiral," Musk freaked his employees out so bad by locking himself in his office that they "were considering calling a wellness check by the San Francisco police because they thought he was going to self-harm himself."

That freakout seems to have begun, Mezrich explained, with other incidents — including him getting booed at a Dave Chappelle show last December and someone confronting a car carrying his son around that same time. Both demonstrated how much people have grown to despise the serial entrepreneur who once inspired "Iron Man," and contrary to his devil-may-care attitude, Mezrich argues that Musk is very sensitive to what people think about him.

kinda figured getting booed at Chappelle's show was a big moment for him. he probably gets that he's not exactly universally well-liked but getting shunned by that particular crowd probably stung a lot

yeah getting invited up there was prob the coolest shit for him then he gets booed instant reversal of fortune

that was a weird and silly thing to claim yes, since the comic character predates the birth of the second-richest blight by some eight years
i guess (as a veteran of many a fact-check conversation) it's not *impossible* that such elements of the downey-era portrayal as don't predate do fit this description
