The messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has placed a large X logo on its San Francisco location, causing controversy among city leaders and residents.
To the dismay of the neighborhood which complained about the obtrusive lights and the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, which said that it is looking into the building, the company built an “X” logo on the roof of its Market Street offices on Friday.
The decision was made in response to Musk’s article in which he said the newly renamed company would stay in San Francisco despite what he called the city’s recent “doom spiral, with one company after another leaving or leaving.” The Tesla TSLA.O headquarters were transferred from California to Texas in 2021 by Musk, who also serves as the company’s CEO. For a city that has battled to recover from tourism and financial losses brought on by the pandemic, keeping the X logo in San Francisco may be encouraging.Due to the loss of big businesses, employment layoffs in the computer industry, and less tourism, the downtown area is economically ailing.
