Building landlord faces fines for 'X' installation
The building's landlord for "X," formerly known as Twitter, faces a $4,000 fine for the installation of the now-removed "X" sign. Neighbors complained about the sign's flashing lights. One of the videos of the flashing "X" sign was shared with KTVU by Christopher Beale.
SAN FRANCISCO - The X sign that was put up at the San Francisco headquarters of "X," formerly known as Twitter racked up over $4,000 in fines.
However, Elon Musk was let off the hook as the building's landlord ended up paying those penalty fees.
The sign was removed just a few days after outcry from nearby residents and a notice of violation issued by the city.
The installation and the subsequent removal of the X came amid Musk's rebranding of the company formerly known as Twitter.
