San Francisco has opened a complaint and launched an investigation of a giant “X” sign that cropped up Friday on top of the downtown headquarters of the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

    Wait a second.

    How many days passed between “This is the new logo” and “giant 3D logo mounted atop the building”? And is it in any way feasible for design, manufacture, and installation to have occurred in such a short time?

    I think not. Which only leaves one possibility: the logo and name change was fully planned well before Musk went on his weird “announcement” rant. And if that’s true, it means that the hamfisted “WTF is Musk doing this time?” thing was on purpose.

        Yeah I’m sure they just went to a sign company and said “here’s what we want.” A week is plenty of time for that

      Yep, musk is using good ol’ ragebait to get us to talk about his company. And it’s working, look at us going.

      Definitely doable in a couple days. It’s a rush job so they paid out the ass for it (good use of money for a struggling company) but it’s a very simple shape so making it would not be hard

      A day it’s enough if it’s a laser cutted and folded sheet metal + lights.
