I was talking about 23andMe, not Google, moving out of the US.
Sorry for not being explicit.

With all the talking about big Google rafts anchored in San Francisco, I
could suppose Google is gaining expertise in moving their facilities around.

And when you have your data-centers on industrial rafts able to be
hauled around the ocean, you have the ability to raise the anchors and
leave for freer waters.

It would be funny if Brin, in a future where more of the Google HW is
sea worth, decided to leave the harbor to better places.
