It's also seizure-inducing

Wow, that is incredibly annoying! I can't imagine they wouldn't get forced to take it down.
I guess all he does is baiting headlines
he'll only stop when it stops working. not happening anytime soon, sadly
Elon is the master of baiting.
Fuck all their neighbors, I guess
Jesus fucking christ, how is that still standing
How often do you get to break the law as a billionaire before you have consequences?
That has got to be a joke. How come by now nobody shot it down?
I'm hoping you mean the city shooting it down, as in saying nope to it lol. Any responsible gun owner would ideally realize how terrible of an idea it would be to pop rounds at it, in a city center, with buildings behind it, knowing a good percentage of those shots will miss and go flying beyond it.
Odds are, the city will have something to say about it, and knowing Elon, he didn't pull a permit so it's a matter of time. That thing is an eye sore and a hazard.
Purely because it's in CA. Even if you can get your hands on a gun you've only got 5 shots before you have to reload.
Is reloading super laborious or something? Is the goal to only need to reload once a day, maybe at night as your phone is recharging?
I... don't think that's how it works...
Gun Simps: "You can't have gun control because people don't follow the law and will get them anyway."
Also Gun Simps: "Nobody has guns in California because it's against the law."
Pick one way to be wrong, at least.
Is that on purpose or is the thing so badly made that it's blinking like that?
Seriously? It's the actual sign?
It is. And it was done without a permit, so the city might fine him over it too. https://apnews.com/article/twitter-san-francisco-building-x-elon-musk-4e0ae2a3b1b838b744bb2dc494f5b23c
For once I hope the fine is not based on revenue
Aren't there usually minimum fines anyway even if they're based on revenue?
Yeah probably, just my poor attempt at a joke about X's business rather than a genuine hope.
Who cares? He won’t pay it just like he doesn’t pay the rent lol
That's fine just board up his doors and tell him that he is unable to do any business until the fine is paid and then the offending material will be removed from the building by city provided workers and you take until his check clears the bank in order to finish and allow him back into the building you barricade off every single entrance and prevent entry to the building until you're done just say it's for safety sake we had to take this much time to make sure we did it correctly unlike what you did.......
Seriously?
A perfect summary of the public’s reaction to the entire rebrand.
Well that looks like shit.
It's perfect.
Just one of the many signs this was a rushed decision he forced through without consulting anyone
This has gotten WAY out of hand.
A bad idea is one thing. They happen all the time. Many executives would sell their souls for the kind of recognition that the blue bird had, but I suppose a good marketing team could have pulled off a successful rebranding.
This whole “x” fiasco, however, is a series of bad ideas done hastily, sloppily, and with little to no planning. It’s completely unjustifiable, from any perspective - unless you’re Elon, apparently.
All those blue bird icons on millions of sites. Good luck getting those to change to x. Of all the dumb moves Musk has made, this ranks as the second dumbest. Of course, the dumbest move was paying 44 billion dollars for a site that realistically was worth 5-10 billion, and that was before that knucklefuck took over and ran it straight into the ground.
Yeah. The more I think about it, the worse it is. Lately, I’ve been wondering how many businesses have professionally printed “Follow us on Twitter!” stickers in their windows and signs by their cash registers. Your local pizza place probably does. That kind of visibility and awareness is priceless.
Is Elon going to ship tens of thousands of replacement signs? No. Are business owners going to pay to replace them themselves? Some, maybe, but even then it won’t be a major priority. Hell, I didn’t take one elective class in marketing, and even I have a better understanding of the value he’s throwing away.
I mean all I have heard for days now is about this X thing. He memed it into existence and now it's incredibly recognizable and talked about non-stop. God he's such an ass.
he wants to be a Furher so badly
He’s definitely one step furher.
It's amazing how countless people have labeled Elon a shit-posting edgelord, and yet, he keeps trying so damn hard to tell the world what we all already know.
We get it, dude. Now shut the fuck up and do a days worth of work for once in your life. I think we're all quite tired of billionaire's at this point.
I'd surely be walking into the building every morning with a paper bag over my head if I were somebody who was still stuck working there.
I have to imagine the only people who are still working there are just trying to stay in America.
This. Many of the people who still work there have no other choice. Their citizenship is tied to their employer. I feel sympathy for them.
It look like vandalism, someone broke into the building at night to put on their crappy sign.
This kind of describes what's actually happened.
I thought it was a collapsed crane until I've seen the Lego holding it. Did a three year old build this? Those small bricks aren't meant for young children, they can inhale them.
I mean someone who could do it professionally would probably professionally say no to such an illegal job
I didn't realize he did it all himself.
What in the actual fuck?
This is like a physical embodiment of Poe's law.
just barons doing baron things.
All the money in the world can’t buy taste
