And Elon has started all of his businesses in California, presumably because he knows this is where innovation and talent lives. \u2026 Governor Abbott should focus on the people and business whose employees feel threatened, attacked and intimidated by his misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On April 9, Musk posted a now-deleted tweet that asked if Twitter\u2019s San Francisco headquarters should be turned into a \u201chomeless shelter since no one shows up anyway\u201d due to the company\u2019s work-from-home policy.<\/p>\n<p>With more than 1.5 million votes cast, more than 91% of respondents responded yes to Musk\u2019s Twitter poll.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m serious about this one btw<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1513199588454264832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 10, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Musk later wrote about the idea, \u201cI\u2019m serious about this one btw.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
