Elon Musk’s massive flashing X sign, we hardly knew ye.

San Francisco building inspectors on Monday called time on the billionaire Twitter X owner’s latest rebranding stunt. Officials ordered a strobing X that had only been installed on the roof of Twitter’s X’s HQ on Friday to be dismantled for violating city code.

The sign may be gone, but won’t be forgotten thanks to these replies:

I guess X doesn’t mark the spot? https://t.co/xas0U1NA3z

My four-year-old asked me “daddy, why’d they take down the X” and when I told him “the woke mob can’t stand free speech” he started crying. https://t.co/YIwabGlXPq

The X sign being poorly put up and then taken down within a matter of days represents what will happen to the entire corporation https://t.co/khjMloGOVH

Such a powerful billionaire, who can't even put up a sign. https://t.co/1GP17Yuyz6
