The ‘X’ logo of Twitter gets Elon Musk into trouble

The ‘X’ logo of Twitter gets Elon Musk into trouble

 Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, the owner and CTO of Twitter, the founder of the Boring Company, as well as the co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI, is in yet another dispute over his new Twitter design, dubbed X.

The mayor of San Francisco has filed a complaint and initiated an investigation into the installation of a massive "X" sign on top of the downtown building formerly known as Twitter headquarters on Friday. The mayor has said that putting the sign requires a permit due to safety reasons.

The X appeared when police in San Francisco stopped workmen from removing the brand's distinctive bird and logo from the side of the building on Monday, claiming they hadn't roped off the pavement to keep people safe if anything dropped.

Patrick Hannan said, “Planning review and approval is also necessary for the installation of this sign. The city is opening a complaint and initiating an investigation.”

Elon Musk revealed that a new "X" logo would replace Twitter's iconic blue bird. Musk purchased the social media site for $44 billion last year. On Monday, the X appeared at the top of the desktop version of Twitter.

Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla, has long been attracted to the letter X and had previously renamed Twitter to X Corp. after purchasing it in October. One of his children is known as "X." The real name of Musk’s baby is a combination of letters and symbols.

During Twitter's makeover and rebranding, Elon Musk took over the account of Gene X Hwang, a San Francisco-based photographer. He admitted that Elon Musk never reimbursed him for taking over his Twitter account, which he had owned for the last 16 years.

Later on, the man stated that Twitter provided some products to him. He had been using the logo since 2007.
