In leaving San Francisco in his dust, Elon Musk is throwing superstition to the winds.
Employees of San Francisco-based X were told in a memo sent around on Thursday that the date has been set for leaving their offices, according to Fortune, which based its account on a source it did not name.
The date is Sept. 13, which this year arrives on a Friday.
Reports on social media also indicated Sept. 13 was the date picked for the move.
Twitter moved into its headquarters in 2012.
The building took on a new look in 2022 after Musk bought Twitter and fired thousands of workers, leaving some parts of the building vacant.
Fortune reported that some X employees will work in either Palo Alto or San Jose, both in the Bay Area.
X’s headquarters, however, will be moving to Austin, Texas.
Texas is also home to Tesla and SpaceX, both owned by Musk.
Musk said last month that he wanted to leave California after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law banning schools from telling parents about a child’s children’s gender identity, according to Fox Business.
Musk called the law “the final straw” and said he was leaving California due “this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies.”
Musk is not alone in saying the Golden State has become tarnished.
Between 2010 and 2022, a whopping 7.5 million ex-Californians have departed the Golden State for greener pastures in other states, according to Cal Matters.
