Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, is being fined by San Francisco authorities for erecting an unauthorized flashing X sign on the roof of its offices.
Details of Incident
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, erected an unapproved flashing X sign on the roof of Twitter’s San Francisco offices. The sign was installed on March 25, 2023.
What Is The Significance Of His Billing?
Musk did not have a permit to erect the billboard, according to the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection (DBI). Musk will be charged for the expense of removing the billboard as well as any additional infractions, according to the DBI.
What Will He Be Charged?
The DBI has not stated how much Musk will be paid. The expense of removing the sign, on the other hand, is expected to be around $1,500.
What Is Musk’s Reaction?
Musk has yet to respond to the DBI’s decision to bill him.
Quick Review on Incident
An attempt to remove the firm’s former name had to be temporarily abandoned, which meant that just the initials ER remained on the building for a short time.
Wider questions have been raised regarding the appropriateness of relinquishing one of the most well-known names in technology, as well as the blue bird logo with which it was associated.
Mr. Musk and the company’s new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, plan to turn X into an “everything app,” where users will want to spend more of their money and time online.
