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.

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil
