the erection of a glowing X in X formerly known as Twitter’s office in San Francisco has drawn anger from the residents who claim it’s disturbing.
However, the structure has angered some locals and city officials. To the dismay of nearby residents who complained about the invasive lights, the corporation placed a ‘X’ logo on the roof of its Market Street offices on Friday.
The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection has announced that it is looking into the construction.
The change came after Musk, the billionaire who paid $44 billion to buy the company in October, posted that the newly renamed company would stay in San Francisco despite what he called the city’s recent “doom spiral, with one company after another left or leaving.”
Tesla’s headquarters were transferred from California to Texas in 2021 by Musk, who also serves as the automaker’s CEO. A positive sign for a city that has battled to recover from tourism and financial losses brought on by the epidemic could be the decision to keep X in San Francisco.
Musk wrote, “Beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we will always be your friend,”
The structure is under investigation, according to San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspection, which believes it may breach the regulations governing permits.
In a written report, a BID inspector said that corporate executives twice refused to allow BID inspectors to inspect the logo access to the roof. One representative said the sign was only temporary, the inspector saw.
