推特总部大楼“X”标志，拆了
据路透社报道，在旧金山市政府提出推特大楼顶层“X”标志涉嫌违反城市法规后，该标志“并没有存在太久”，已于当地时间7月31日上午被拆除。

报道称，旧金山市建筑检查部门发言人31日表示，“今天上午，建筑检查员注意到这座大楼顶层的‘X’标志正在被拆除，” 发言人称，“大楼所有者将被征收违例安装照明设施的费用。”
"This morning, building inspectors observed the structure being dismantled," a spokesperson from the city Department of Building Inspection said by email on Monday. "The property owner will be assessed fees for the unpermitted installation of the illuminated structure."

然而，附近的办公人员抱怨该标志灯光干扰了公司的办公空间。此前还有旧金山当地居民录下了推特大楼顶层“X”标志发出的闪烁光线，一些人批评该标志的灯光过于刺眼。

据《华盛顿邮报》7月30日报道，旧金山市政府曾两次派代表来询问马斯克在推特公司总部顶层安装巨大的闪烁“X”标志的情况。市政府方面表示，该标志涉嫌违反城市法规，需要立即拆除。

旧金山市政官员7月28日对推特公司发出违规通知，称该标志是在没有许可证的情况下安装的。依据旧金山当地规定，更换建筑物上的标志或在建筑物顶部安装新标志，需要获得市政府的批准。
投诉跟踪体系显示，旧金山市一名建筑检查员7月28日至29日曾两次试图查看屋顶上的新标志。市政府的投诉记录表明，X公司的代表拒绝检查员进入，并声称该顶层建筑是一个“活动的临时灯光标志”。市政检查员向现场的X公司代表解释说，该建筑必须拆除，否则将违反城市法规。
A city building inspector has since tried twice — on Friday and on Saturday — to gain access to the new rooftop sign, according to the city's complaint tracker. X representatives denied access to the inspector, allegedly telling the official that the structure "is a temporary lighted sign for an event," according to the city’s complaint. The city inspector explained to on-site X representatives that the structure must be removed or abide by city code.
目前尚不清楚X公司可能面临的处罚，但根据市政府网站的说法，处理违章建筑通常会产生费用，至少需要“偿还部门的调查和执法成本”。
It's unclear what penalties the company may face, but building violations often incur fees, according to the city website, at least to "reimburse the department for the cost of the investigation and enforcement."
