Elon Musk's Twitter, now renamed X, has installed a massive new illuminated sign on top of its headquarters in San Francisco, surprising California residents who were shocked by the sudden change.

Local journalist Christopher Beale who lives in the block of flats opposite the offices, posted a video of the new sign and expressed his disbelief at the transformation. Responding to a user who said "Imagine this f***ing X sign right across from your bedroom," Mr Neale said: "Imagine no more. This is my life now." The city of San Francisco has launched an investigation into the sign installation, as it requires permits for design and safety reasons. City officials say replacing letters or symbols on buildings or erecting a sign on top of one, requires a permit for design and safety reasons. The 'X' appeared after San Francisco police stopped workers on Monday from removing the brand's iconic bird and logo from the side of the building, saying they hadn't taped off the sidewalk to keep pedestrians safe if anything fell. Police were called to the headquarters when a worker began removing pieces of the old sign without authorisation. Any replacement letters or symbols would require a permit to ensure 'consistency with the historic nature of the building' and to make sure additions are safely attached to the sign, Patrick Hannan, spokesperson for the Department of Building Inspection said earlier this week. Erecting a sign on top of a building also requires a permit, Mr Hannan said on Friday. 'Planning review and approval is also necessary for the installation of this si){kind=link}
