San Francisco: The big X logo on the Elon Musk-run company's San Francisco headquarters has been taken down due to multiple complaints. Last week, the company had put a huge X logo on its headquarters in the city which emitted strong lights throughout the night.
On Monday, CNBC saw workers dismantling the glowing X, removing its lights and an arm of the letter, after receiving complaints from nearby residents and city officials. The sign was taken down from the roof by 1:00 p.m. According to a spokesman, San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspections received 24 complaints. The complaints stated that the sign was placed up without a permit, is unsafe and is a nuisance. One claimed that residents found it difficult to sleep due to the flashing lights. “This morning, building inspectors observed the structure being dismantled,” Patrick Hannan, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, said in an email.
