STRANGE BUT TRUE - HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS!
"X-Twitter has now refused two notices of violation and two inspection visits by San Francisco building department, for their new “X” logo sign.
The inspector was told the sign is temporary and is for an upcoming event.
Elon issued a strange tweet that he will not abandon San Francisco as other companies have done."

Instagram is owned by Meta, which also runs Facebook, Threads, and WhatsApp.
