The sign was put up on Friday as part of the company's rebrand, but it attracted 24 complaints at the weekend.
It was taken down on Monday and X will be charged the cost of building permits for its installation and removal.
San Francisco authorities said the firm did not have permission for the sign.
In a statement, officials said the company would also have to cover the cost of the Department of Building Inspection and the Planning Department's investigation.

He should have made the new logo a giant middle finger.
Move the office out of San Francisco
Immediately
and
Permanently
imho it has every appearance of being a big “F U” to the powers that be from Elon.
flashing is 1950s-retro. iirc it has been outlawed in cities for decades (distracting to street traffic? something... who knows what...)
it is weird they put up sign w/out checking permit issue - but i do think SF, with its decimated business tax base and declining population and now horrendous reputation,should have tried a friendly approach. Elon may not want to leave SF, but he is a businessman first...
Threaten to move the headquarters Out of San Francisco..... that should do it!
That is the problem............
“X will be charged the cost of building permits for its installation”
Huh?
Asking government for permission is undesirable in the first place, particularly when it deals with private property, err, property leased via property tax payments to government. It’s a completely different problem asking permission of faggots, lesbos, gender deniers and ignorant minorities who work in government. Government employees are the lowest scum on earth with zero credibility or ability. They only good at turning everything they touch to chit.
Flashing is so cool there is an HTML tag for it.
They don’t like the X? Get the X out of San Francisco, Elon.
> Move the office out of San Francisco… <
Right. This sign dust-up is just a hint of all the aggravation to come.
Musk is not a dumb guy. He has to know that.
Musk has become an unperson to the Inner Party.
And he will have his lawyers drag San Francisco through the court system to collect on their fines, just for the fun of it.
“Move the office out of San Francisco”
Or establish an office outside SF, and assign all the “working from home” people to it for tax purposes.
Now, just erect the new Twitter branding logo over the White House, DC Capitol building, and Manhattan so that the Chinese balloons can update their targeting systems.
> Flashing is so cool there is an HTML tag for it.
the blink html does not seem to work in chrome. I tried embedding javascript in a FR reply but i could not get that to work either. otherwise we could do some cool stuff such as “YOU WILL OBEY [X].” too bad. :(
Yeah but he didn’t have to go through months or years of the process which almost certainly means bribes to speed up the process. He’s a genius.
hundreds of millions of free publicity for the cost of a couple of fines and permits ... ya gotta love it! ... way to go Elon!
