You can’t do better than the lead a blogger wrote on boingboing.net after the city of San Francisco stopped Twitter, nay ‘X,’ owner Elon Musk from placing a large metal logo on top of the former Twitter headquarters building in San Francisco: “It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.”
As Musk moves forward with remaking one of social media’s legacy brands, the iconic blue bird was cast from its nest, and, one by one, the letters that spelled “Twitter” were removed from the side of the building’s signage.
