It’s also seizure-inducing

Wow, that is incredibly annoying! I can’t imagine they wouldn’t get forced to take it down.
How often do you get to break the law as a billionaire before you have consequences?
I’m hoping you mean the city shooting it down, as in saying nope to it lol. Any responsible gun owner would ideally realize how terrible of an idea it would be to pop rounds at it, in a city center, with buildings behind it, knowing a good percentage of those shots will miss and go flying beyond it.
Odds are, the city will have something to say about it, and knowing Elon, he didn’t pull a permit so it’s a matter of time. That thing is an eye sore and a hazard.
Purely because it’s in CA. Even if you can get your hands on a gun you’ve only got 5 shots before you have to reload.
Is reloading super laborious or something? Is the goal to only need to reload once a day, maybe at night as your phone is recharging?
There are PLENTY of gun owners in Cali and your pockets can easily fit 4-5x 5 or 10 rd mags in your pants pockets if not more.
You can fire pretty quick between mag changes as well. Who the fuck is going around with a single 5rd mag?
The actual answer is because responsible gun owners would never just go shoot something down in the city just cuz it’s annoying to the other businesses around the sign
Seriously? It’s the actual sign?
It is. And it was done without a permit, so the city might fine him over it too. https://apnews.com/article/twitter-san-francisco-building-x-elon-musk-4e0ae2a3b1b838b744bb2dc494f5b23c
Aren’t there usually minimum fines anyway even if they’re based on revenue?
That’s fine just board up his doors and tell him that he is unable to do any business until the fine is paid and then the offending material will be removed from the building by city provided workers and you take until his check clears the bank in order to finish and allow him back into the building you barricade off every single entrance and prevent entry to the building until you’re done just say it’s for safety sake we had to take this much time to make sure we did it correctly unlike what you did…
Well that looks like shit.
It’s perfect.
This has gotten WAY out of hand.
A bad idea is one thing. They happen all the time. Many executives would sell their souls for the kind of recognition that the blue bird had, but I suppose a good marketing team could have pulled off a successful rebranding.
This whole “x” fiasco, however, is a series of bad ideas done hastily, sloppily, and with little to no planning. It’s completely unjustifiable, from any perspective - unless you’re Elon, apparently.
All those blue bird icons on millions of sites. Good luck getting those to change to x. Of all the dumb moves Musk has made, this ranks as the second dumbest. Of course, the dumbest move was paying 44 billion dollars for a site that realistically was worth 5-10 billion, and that was before that knucklefuck took over and ran it straight into the ground.
Yeah. The more I think about it, the worse it is. Lately, I’ve been wondering how many businesses have professionally printed “Follow us on Twitter!” stickers in their windows and signs by their cash registers. Your local pizza place probably does. That kind of visibility and awareness is priceless.
Is Elon going to ship tens of thousands of replacement signs? No. Are business owners going to pay to replace them themselves? Some, maybe, but even then it won’t be a major priority. Hell, I didn’t take one elective class in marketing, and even I have a better understanding of the value he’s throwing away.
Just one of the many signs this was a rushed decision he forced through without consulting anyone
