Wait a second.
How many days passed between "This is the new logo" and "giant 3D logo mounted atop the building"? And is it in any way feasible for design, manufacture, and installation to have occurred in such a short time?
I think not. Which only leaves one possibility: the logo and name change was fully planned well before Musk went on his weird "announcement" rant. And if that's true, it means that the hamfisted "WTF is Musk doing this time?" thing was on purpose.
Musk already owns x.com before/during his PayPal days. I wouldn't get it pass him if that logo was already built years ago.
But the story was that Musk "stole" the logo from some rando who posted it in response to Musk's request for logos.
It's been sitting in his garage for years. 🤣
It’s totally feasible, that’s just some shit bolted together in an X.
Yeah I'm sure they just went to a sign company and said "here's what we want." A week is plenty of time for that
Yep, musk is using good ol' ragebait to get us to talk about his company. And it's working, look at us going.
A day it's enough if it's a laser cutted and folded sheet metal + lights.
Definitely doable in a couple days. It's a rush job so they paid out the ass for it (good use of money for a struggling company) but it's a very simple shape so making it would not be hard
