Twitter to hire new employees as Elon Musk considers second HQ in TX
In a recent meeting with Twitter staff, Elon Musk talked about hiring new employees for the social media company and possibly opening a second HQ in Texas in the future.
Twitter Hiring Ramp
At a staff meeting on Monday, November 21, Elon Musk announced that Twitter is looking for new employees. Twitter employees shared a recording of the meeting with The Verge. He noted that Twitter has positions open in sales. Twitter is also looking to hire engineers.
Musk elaborated that Twitter’s “highest priority” is hiring people who can write code. He told staff members that Twitter would be open to taking recommendations from people who have friends or acquaintances that might have the qualifications to work at the company.
When he took over the social media platform as Chief Twit, Musk executed a massive layoff. Before notifying employees who would be let go, Musk sent a company-wide letter explaining that layoffs were “necessary to ensure the company’s success moving forward.” As expected, not many people were excited about the layoffs or Musk’s new role as CEO. Their sentiments led to an exodus of Twitter employees.
Before sealing his $44 billion Twitter deal, news broke that Musk was expected to lay off 75% of Twitter staff. However, public documents show that Twitter executives planned a massive layoff at the company even if the deal with Musk deal failed.
Twitter HQ in Texas
During the meeting on Monday, a staff member asked if Elon Musk intended to move Twitter’s HQ to Texas. Earlier this year, when Musk announced his intention to buy Twitter, there was speculation that he would move the company’s headquarters to Texas. The other companies Musk leads–including Tesla, SpaceX, and The Boring Company–all have headquarters in the Lone Star State. Governor George Abbott also invited Elon Musk to establish a base for Twitter in Texas.
Musk stated that he does not have plans to move Twitter’s HQ to Texas—entirely. He is considering the idea of a second headquarters in Texas for the future, with the other remaining in San Francisco. Musk also provided a surprising reason as to why he wouldn’t move Twitter to Texas—at least not right now.
“If we want to move the headquarters to Texas, I think it would play into the idea that Twitter has gone from being left-wing to right-wing, which is not the case,” he said. “This is not a right-wing takeover of Twitter. It is a moderate-wing takeover of Twitter,” Musk told Twitter staff.

Tesla Cybertruck officially launches in Korea
New orders for the Cybertruck will start on September 5, 2025.

The Tesla Cybertruck is being launched in South Korea. The arrival of the all-electric pickup truck in the country was announced by the electric vehicle maker in a blog post and on social media.
Tesla Cybertruck launch
As per Tesla Korea, those who have reserved the Cybertruck could log into their Tesla account to confirm their order. Customers could confirm their orders from August 29, 2025 to September 4, 2025. New orders for the Cybertruck will start on September 5, 2025.
Tesla Korea noted that if existing reservation holders do not confirm their orders within August 29 to September 5, their existing reservation date will not be recognized. A downpayment of the Cybertruck in South Korea would be 20 million won. ($14,300).
Potential demand
As noted in a report from the Chosun Biz, the Cybertruck has recorded a high pre-order rate in South Korea since the vehicle was initially unveiled in late 2019. Two variants of the Cybertruck will be made available in South Korea, the Cybertruck AWD and the Cyberbeast. The vehicles will be sold at 145 million won ($104,000) and 160 million won ($114,500), respectively.
The Cybertruck is arguably Tesla’s most advanced vehicle today, thanks to its use of systems like steer-by-wire, which allows even large vehicles like the all-electric pickup truck to be capable of being driven without much issue, even in tight spaces. The vehicle is also built with stainless steel, making it one of the toughest pickup trucks in the market.

SpaceX calls off Starship 10 flight attempt once again
SpaceX is calling off a potential launch of Starship this evening, marking the second consecutive night the tenth test flight of the massive rocket will be delayed.

SpaceX is calling off a potential launch of Starship this evening, marking the second consecutive night the tenth test flight of the massive rocket will be delayed.
Originally planning to launch on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. local time in Starbase, Texas, SpaceX was forced to delay the tenth launch of Starship due to a hardware issue.
“Ground side liquid oxygen leak needs to be fixed. Aiming for another launch attempt tomorrow,” CEO Elon Musk posted on the social media platform X.
Starship Flight 10 rescheduled as SpaceX targets Monday launch
The launch was then pushed to Monday night, and the launch window was set to start at the same time as Sunday. However, SpaceX would push it back to 6:44 p.m. due to some weather issues.
Eventually, Starship seemed like it was trending toward a launch, but weather continued to persist in the area, with thunder, rain, and lightning all threatening in the area.
At around 7:03 p.m., SpaceX decided to stand down once again, confirming weather was the culprit of yet another delay:
Launch called off for tonight due to anvil clouds over launch site (lightning risk)
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 26, 2025
SpaceX will likely try again on Tuesday night, but the company has not yet confirmed if it will open another launch window.

WATCH: SpaceX Starship Flight 10 launch

SpaceX is set to launch its tenth test flight of the Starship program, with a launch window that will open at 6:44 p.m. local time, or 7:44 p.m. on the East Coast.
Starship’s tenth test flight was originally scheduled for launch yesterday with a one-hour window that opened at 7:30 p.m. ET, but it was called off 17 minutes before that window even had a chance to open.
Starship Flight 10 rescheduled as SpaceX targets Monday launch
SpaceX moved the flight to tonight. It was also originally scheduled to have a launch window at the same time as Sunday, but it was pushed back 14 minutes to around 6:30 p.m. ET. There are storms in the area, as well as clouds over Starbase, so there is the off chance for another launch delay.
There are several big objectives for this launch, including the expansion of the operating envelope for the Super Heavy booster. SpaceX says there are “multiple landing burn tests planned.”
The booster will also be performing a few in-flight experiments to help with data collection. Specifically, real-world performance data on future flight profiles and off-nominal scenarios will be on the list of things SpaceX will be looking for.
Starship itself will have a few in-flight objectives that include the deployment of eight Starlink simulators that are similar in size to the next-gen satellites for the internet service. SpaceX was set to test this with Starship’s seventh test flight, which occurred in January 2025. However, the task was abandoned as the vehicle was destroyed before deployment could occur.
Liftoff conditions are currently looking favorable, and SpaceX will be eager to improve upon its Starship launch program as CEO Elon Musk has big plans for it in the coming years.
