* VMWare laying off 577 employees in Austin,
* startup founders, like Techstars Managing Director Amos Schwartzfarb, announcing their decisions to leave Austin,
* Meta dropping plans to move to Austin,
* Google freezing plans to move to Austin, in spite of already paying rent.
* TikTok not establishing plans to move to Austin in spite of already leasing office space,
* Don Ward, the CEO of Laundris, announced he would be relocating his company to Tulsa,
