I used to visit r/programmerhumor, which was never really funny but it was worth a smirk every now and then.
The entire sub is just an Elon hatefest at this point. He'll say something slightly incorrect and the entire sub starts jacking each other off about how Musk has no idea what he's doing and he's going to destroy Twitter with his own incompetence, etc. Of course, they know exactly how Twitter should be run and could easily do it themselves if The Man wasn't holding them back.
Then they go back to posting memes about how they don't understand recursion because it's super hard.
Easiest thing to do is shutter the HQ entirely and have everybody work from home. Small, local, distributed HQ's can be arranged where necessary, but a website does not need a huge HQ
It's not that they don't want to live there. California is nice if you're making $400k.
It's that their social life would suffer. No more invites to the weekly orgies for the Elon employees.
He should move to somewhere where people who work for him aren't socially ostracized.
That would be pretty much anywhere besides California, even NYC has a fairly centrist tech scene, and a culture where it's normal to work in any number of industries the left dislikes.
I suspect the main issue is that he doesn't want to take those self-landing-rocket software engineer and waste them on Twitter - it'd be much easier for him if Twitter staff could just stop being entitled whiny princesses.
Of course, that assumes that "stopping being whiny entitled princesses" is something that they are capable of.
I read this comment and then stared off into the distant past, remembering how many times basic maintenance hadn't been done on a project I did. There's a reason IT people drink.
Amazing, isn't it?
The man manages engineers who outperform NASA, but people think he can't manage twitter.
It's the dunning kruger effect.

Musk is already in the process of moving SpaceX and Tesla to Texas. It'd make sense to move Twitter there too.

Easier said than done
