The giant, glowing X sign no longer stands in the San Francisco tower block that is home to Elon Musk’s social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
The city’s building department registered 24 complaints after the weekend over the large “X” that was erected on Friday on the roof of the company’s headquarters in downtown San Francisco, on Market Street, to the dismay of neighbors who complained about the strong lights of the new logo, according to the company. It was reported by Reuters, and Al-Arabiya.net viewed it.
The move followed a post from the mysterious billionaire, Elon Musk, who acquired the company in October for $44 billion, announcing that the newly named company would remain in San Francisco despite what he called the city’s “final death spiral, with companies leaving one by one.” other”.
“Beautiful San Francisco, though you’ve been abandoned, I will always be your friend,” Musk wrote.
But the big “X” didn’t stay around for long.
“This morning, building inspectors noticed that the structure was being dismantled,” a spokesperson for the city’s Building Inspection Department said via email, in response to Reuters. Charges will be assessed to the property owner for unauthorized installation of the illuminated structure.
He added that the removal of the “X” was voluntary.
Over the weekend, locals recorded video of the glowing, pulsating, and luminous “X” symbol, with some criticizing its intrusive lights.
Over the weekend, a building inspection department official wrote in a report that company representatives twice denied access to the roof to city officials seeking to inspect the logo.
The inspector noted that one of the representatives said the mark was temporary.
