The owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, is facing problems after he removed the logo with the iconic blue Twitter bird and replaced it with an X logo at the headquarters in San Francisco. The city authorities are now investigating whether Musk had the right permits when he placed it new logo on the roof. Replacing symbols and signs requires permission to maintain the building’s historic integrity and safe installation. Show more
– Soon we will say goodbye to the Twitter brand and gradually all the birds, Musk signed Twitter 23. July.
The next day, workers in San Francisco began removing the iconic blue Twitter bird sign from its San Francisco headquarters.
Hell yes stopped by the police because they lacked proper permits and had not blocked off the sidewalk below the sign to ensure pedestrians were safe.
But the sign problems don’t stop there.

In the same week, a large X was erected on the roof of the building.
Now the city authorities are investigating whether Musk is actually allowed to set up the X, and thereby change the building’s facade.
It writes news agency AP.

Replacing letters or symbols, and putting up new signs requires permission, both for reasons of design and safety.
It also requires a permit to put a sign on the roof of a building.
– Any replacement letters or symbols require a permit to ensure the history of the building, and to ensure that it is securely attached, says spokesperson Patrick Hannan in the Department of Building Inspection in San Francisco.
Examining the sign
– It is necessary to go through plans and approvals for this sign. The city authorities have opened a complaint and started an investigation into the sign, says Hannan to AP.
More media have tried to contact X on Friday evening to get a comment after the logo crease, but X has not yet responded.
The Twitter owner himself seems to be satisfied with the result. On Friday night, he posted a video of the new illuminated logo:
It was last October that Musk bought the platform. Several of the changes he has made have drawn fierce criticism, particularly the restrictions on how many Tweets – or X’s – a regular user can see.
Some have also speculated whether it will lead to the death of the platform.
