It’s gone. An enormous, glowing X not marks the spot on the San Francisco high-rise that’s headquarters to Elon Musk’s messaging company X, formerly often called Twitter.
The town constructing department logged 24 complaints after a weekend of the large X, which on Friday was erected on the roof of the corporate’s downtown San Francisco headquarters, on Market Street, to the chagrin of neighbors who complained about intrusive lights.
The move followed a post from Musk, the enigmatic billionaire who acquired the corporate in October for $44 billion, announcing the newly named firm would remain in San Francisco despite what he termed the town’s recent “doom spiral, with one company after one other left or leaving.”
“Beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we’ll all the time be your friend,” Musk wrote.
But the large X didn’t stay long.
“This morning, constructing inspectors observed the structure being dismantled,” a spokesperson from the town Department of Constructing Inspection said by email on Monday. “The property owner will likely be assessed fees for the unpermitted installation of the illuminated structure.”

X said the removal was voluntary.
Locals over the weekend recorded video of the large X glowing, pulsing and strobing, with some criticizing its intrusive lights.
X user @itsmefrenchy123 said they might be “LIVID” over the brilliant logo, imagining it “right across from your bedroom.”
“I’m just astounded on the flagrant lack of consideration for anyone ever,” wrote X user @DollyMarlowe.

Over the weekend a Department of Constructing Inspection inspector wrote in a report that company representatives denied roof access, twice, to city officials in search of to examine the brand.
The inspector noted one representative said the sign was temporary.
