The owner of luxury San Francisco retailer Gump's warned that this holiday season "may be our last."

Chachas made his remarks in an open letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in which he criticized their leadership, published as a paid-for ad in Sunday's edition of The San Francisco Chronicle. "Such abject disregard for civilized conduct makes San Francisco unlivable for its residents, unsafe for our employees, and unwelcoming to visitors from around the world."

Elon Musk had a strobe light in the shape of an X erected on the roof of the company's headquarters. The landlord has paid $4,447 in fines as a result, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. The X sign that Elon Musk had installed on the roof of his company's headquarters resulted in $4,447 in fines which the landlord of the building paid, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. As Musk rebranded Twitter to become X, the iconic blue bird logos were removed from inside its downtown San Francisco office, and eventually from the exterior sign after interruptions from police. It's another headache for X's landlord, which previously filed a lawsuit against the company saying that it hadn't paid rent.

The San Francisco landlord of X's headquarters will be charged fees over Elon Musk's sign antics. Elon Musk is causing more headaches for the landlord of the San Francisco, California, headquarters of X, the social media giant formerly called Twitter. Workers prepare to dismantle a large X logo on the roof of X headquarters on July 31, 2023. A building permit was required to remove the "X" sign but, "due to safety concerns," the permit can be obtained after the fact, Hannan said. City officials had issued a notice of violation on Friday after the "X" sign was put up on the building's roof without a permit.

San Francisco got 24 complaints about the giant light-up sign on X's HQ, CNN reported. San Francisco's Department of Building Inspection got 24 complaints about the giant light-up "X" sign Elon Musk placed on the headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter, the department's spokesperson told CNN. "That new 'X' sign looks really unstable and sketchy," one complaint reads. A crane was used to remove some of the letters from the old sign on the company's San Francisco HQ. The notice ordered X to stop the work and either obtain a building permit for the sign or dismantle it, which also requires a building permit.

SAN FRANCISCO — Elon Musk marked San Francisco as the spot for X Corp. over the weekend, erecting a giant lighted X sign on top of the company's headquarters Friday. The saga over the glowing sign is the latest example of Musk's impulsive approach to running the company formerly known as Twitter. City officials Friday issued a notice of violation to X Corp. for installing the sign without approval. According to public records on the department's website, representatives for X Corp. repeatedly declined to "provide access" to inspectors who visited the building. This is not the first time X has clashed with San Francisco building inspectors.

July 30 (Reuters) - A giant, glowing X marks the San Francisco spot where Elon Musk says he plans to keep his company, the messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter. Keeping X in San Francisco could be a good sign for a city that has struggled to bounce back from tourism and business losses sustained during the pandemic. "Beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we will always be your friend," Musk wrote. X user @itsmefrenchy123 said they would be "LIVID" over the bright logo, imagining it "right across from your bedroom." "I'm just astounded at the flagrant lack of consideration for anyone ever," wrote X user @DollyMarlowe.

"Time to update.," Yaccarino wrote in a post about the mobile app's logo change Friday.
