That billionaire keeps embarrassing himself. Following Elon Musk’s announcement of the social media platform’s rebranding, as well as after the controversial (and odd) change to Twitter’s logo from the classic and easily recognizable blue bird to Elon Musk’s favorite letter in the alphabet, X, the company has been trying its best to rebrand even if their entire user base is mocking them from the sidelines. Apparently, even fate has its eye out for them.
As part of its rebrand, the company has attempted to remove the old and valuable Twitter sign at its headquarters in San Francisco, when somebody decided to stop their fun. “San Francisco police halted the sign removal shortly after it began,” wrote Justin Sullivan for Getty Images as part of a caption alongside his many excellent photos of the site. According to Wayne Sutton, another observer of the hilarious event, he believed that Musk actually did not get permit for the crane used by their workers to remove the sign.
However, the local police have released a statement that it was not because of Musk and his lack of permits, but it was because of a possible unpermitted street closure. That was why they went near the area where Twitter— we mean X, was trying to remove their sign to investigate. The authorities have concluded that no crime was committed, and this incident was not a police matter. It’s all just a funny coincidence.
