Elon Musk’s Big X Sign Removed From Twitter Roof After Residents’ Complaints
Glowing X no longer marks the spot on the San Francisco high-rise that is headquarters to Elon Musk’s messaging company X, formerly known as Twitter.
The city building department logged 24 complaints after a weekend of the big X, which on Friday was erect on the roof of the company’s downtown San Francisco headquarters, on Market Street, to the chagrin of neighbours who complain about intrusive lights.
The move follow a post from Elon Musk, the enigmatic billionaire who acquire the company in October for $44 billion (approx. Rs. 3,37,465 crore), announcing the newly named firm would remain in San Francisco despite what he term the city’s recent “doom spiral, with one company after another left or leaving.”

Elon Musk Takes Product and Engineering Chief Role at X, Linda Yaccarino to Lead All Other Divisions
X owner Elon Musk and Chief Executive Linda Yaccarino will both oversee the trust and safety team at the company formerly known as Twitter, the social media concern said on Monday.
X’s product and engineering team will report to Elon Musk, while Linda Yaccarino will oversee all other divisions, including human resources, legal, finance, sales and operations, X said.
The trust and safety team, which is responsible for content moderation, has the focus of some criticism of the platform after Musk acquired the company last October.
Researchers have accuse X of relaxing content guard rails, leading to a spike in harmful posts.
The company has said the majority of content views are of “healthy” posts.
In an email to X employees, Linda Yaccarino said the company is searching for a new leader for brand safety and suitability.
The previous head of brand safety, A.J. Brown, who work on efforts to prevent advertisements from appearing next to unsuitable content, left the company last month.
Linda Yaccarino said in the email that three X leaders will oversee different responsibilities within trust and safety, including law enforcement operations and threat disruptions.
The changes to trust and safety come after Ella Irwin resign as head of the team in June.
