Elon Musk is involved in yet another controversy, and this time, he is blocking San Francisco authorities trying to bring down the shiny ‘X' logo on the top of the company's headquarters.
What Happened: Musk laughed away reports of him preventing San Francisco authorities from bringing down the bright ‘X' logo on the top of Twitter headquarters.

Musk responded with a laughing emoji to a Twitter post that pointed it out.
Earlier, a report by the New York Times stated that the city officials were prevented multiple times from gaining access to the roof of the building housing Twitter headquarters.
"A building permit is required to make sure the logo is structurally sound and installed safely. Planning review and approval is also necessary for the installation of this logo," said Patrick Hannan, a spokesman for the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection.
City inspectors notified the company that the ‘X' logo was in violation of the building code. Multiple inspectors tried to request access to the roof to inspect the logo but were reportedly turned away, saying that it was just a "temporary lighted logo for an event".
Earlier, Musk struggled to bring down the old Twitter logo and logo from the company's premises, in a bit of irony.
Neighbors Are Angry: Musk putting up the bright ‘X' logo on the top of Twitter headquarters has angered people living across the street.
"I would be fucking LIVID. Imagine this fucking X logo right across from your bedroom," said a viral post.
The video shared by the user shows just how bright the light is. Its pulsating and strobing effect can also be very disorienting, especially at night.
Christopher J. Beale, a journalist for KQED, responded with a video showing how disorienting the bright ‘X' logo is from the window of his home.
He added, "it's hard to describe how bright it is".
