Giant 'X' sign removed from former Twitter headquarters building | Fox Business

While Elon Musk says the headquarters of X Corp., formerly known as Twitter, won’t leave San Francisco, the flashing “X” sign on top of its Market Street building apparently has. The move – shown in images – comes after the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend, including concerns regarding its structural safety and flashing light. “This morning, building inspectors observed the structure being dismantled,” Patrick Hannan, the city’s Department of Building Inspection communications director, said in a statement to FOX Business on Monday. “A building permit is required to remove the structure but, due to safety concerns, the permit can be secured after the structure is taken down.” “The property owner will be assessed fees for the unpermitted installation of the illuminated structure,” he continued. “The fees will be for building permits for the installation and removal of the structure, and to cover the cost of the Department of Building Inspection and the Planning Department’s investigation.” X Corp. told the agency the removal was voluntary. It did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ request for comment. MUSK SAYS X WON’T LEAVE SAN FRANCISCO DESPITE CITY FACING ‘DOOM SPIRAL’ Workers start to dismantle
