Elon Musk Put A Flashing “X” On Top Of The Twitter Building…. And The City Of San Fransisco Along With His Neighbours Are Not Happy About It
Proving once again that Elon Musk doesn’t think before he acts, Elon put a flashing “X” on top of the Twitter building over the weekend.
I have to admit that this is pretty obnoxious. And The City Of San Fransisco sees things that way as this happened next:
San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspection launched a complaint against the company on Friday, saying the sign had been installed without a permit. The city agency said that an inspector “spoke with Tweeter [sic] representatives and Building maintenance engineer representatives,” who declined access to the sign but said that it’s “a temporary lighted sign for an event.”
The city inspector said they explained to the company representatives that the structure had to be taken down or legalized to be allowed to remain up.
The inspector returned to the site on Saturday in an attempt to regain access to the sign.”However, upon arrival access was denied again by the tenant,” the city complaint says.
And anyone living in the area isn’t happy about this either:
Video from San Francisco resident and digital journalist Christopher Beale shows the lights in the sign pulsing brightly across the street of his home, saying, “this is my life now.” At another point, the lights of the giant “X” were seen strobing.
“It’s hard to describe how bright it made this intersection,” he said in a video shared by CBS News Bay Area reporter Betty Yu. “But it’s way up off the street and it’s still just like a flash of lightning going off. We came home and tried to watch a movie and it was flashing through this window so bright that even with the shades down, it was so distracting that we had to leave the room and go to the side of the apartment that doesn’t face their building.”
This highlights what an inconsiderate, narcissistic twit Elon is. I’m expecting that the city is going to force him to take the “X” down which will continue to highlight that his “ready, fire, aim” style of doing things doesn’t help his cause.
