Controversy Surrounds San Francisco's Unauthorized 'X' Sign Atop Twitter HQ

The city of San Francisco has filed a complaint against the company formerly known as Twitter, now rebranded as X by owner Elon Musk, for installing a flashing "X" sign on top of its headquarters without a permit. The city requires a permit for new additions to signs to ensure consistency with the building's historic nature and safety. The complaint states that the structure must be removed with a building permit or legalized. The city's Department of Building Inspection has made two attempts to access the roof but was denied. The violation could result in fees for X, although the specific amount is unknown.
