Flashing ‘X’ sign removed from Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco

A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter, days after it was installed.

The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend.

It was first erected on Friday 28 July.

“As you can see, they took down the X,” social media user @darren_stallcup wrote, sharing a video of the building which no longer features the sign.

Elon Musk’s company also removed the Twitter wording and iconic blue bird logo from the building last week.
