If they relocate engineers to Palo Alto, that's halfway between San Francisco and San Jose. And a lot of engineers (not necessarily at X but in general in Silicon Valley) live in the suburbs between SF and SJ already. It might be mildly less convenient for some, but also mildly more convenient for many.

Twitter sold a lot of people on living in SF proper as opposed to Palo Alto, if memory serves they were one of the first big shops to set up on Market

Yeah, unless you live in Oakland, this probably will be irrelevant to everyone who lives north of Palo Alto.
