Musk failed to get the necessary permits to change Twitter’s building signage to X, and the police shut it down just in time for “er” to remain. (mastodon.social)

The awesome Taylor Lorenz reports this on Mastadon. Highly recommend to follow her if you like these updates about what's going on.

Slight shame that the contractors didn't start from the end. It could have been funnier if they had taken off the "er" instead.

My thoughts the same, though it should have been the "ter" to properly describe Musk.

Then again, having "twit" misspelled might have been even more on-point. Maybe they can just add the X and become Twit-X
