The giant illuminated X logo has been removed from the top of a high-rise tower in San Francisco that houses the headquarters of the X messaging application owned by billionaire Elon Musk, formerly known as Twitter.
The city’s building department registered 24 complaints related to the large banner after angry neighbors complained about the annoying lights emanating from the logo, reports Al-Rai daily quoting Reuters.
This step came in the wake of a post written by Musk, who acquired the company in October for $44 billion, in which he announced that the headquarters of the company, whose name finally changed to “X”, would remain in San Francisco despite the “vortex of death, as one company after another left the city” or leave it.”
“Beautiful San Francisco … even though others abandon you … we will always be your friends,” Musk wrote.
But the giant X logo didn’t stay much in place. “This morning, building inspectors noticed that the emblem was being dismantled,” a spokesperson for the city’s Building Inspection Department said via email on Monday.
“A fee will be charged to the property owner for installing an unauthorized illuminated logo,” he added.
At the beginning of the week, local residents recorded a video clip depicting the giant luminous and glowing logo, and some of them criticized the annoying lights emanating from it.
