FROM SOCIALS.
Elon Musk loves to play pranks, and this is well known to everyone by now. A few days ago he had fun changing the historic logo of Twitter, replacing - temporarily - the bird with a dog. The dog in question is Doge, a popular meme depicting a Shiba Inu dog and which has become a symbol of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.
Now Elon Musk has made himself the protagonist of another "prank" of his own. As he himself made known in a post on his social network, Musk decided to cover with a cloth the letter "W" on the sign that appears on the building of the headquarters of San Francisco, thus transforming the name from Twitter to Titter. A "prank" that did not please the owner of the building.
So what did Musk do ? He had the W painted white. And according to him--problem solved !

So what did Musk do ? He had the W painted white. And according to him...problem solved! On his social profile he wrote: "Our HQ landlord in San Francisco says we are legally obligated to keep the sign as Twitter and we can't remove the W, so we painted it. Problem solved!"
Musk's "pranks" do not seem to blow the minds of a large segment of Twitter users who are not very supportive of his policies. The logo change, for example, was quite criticized, even though it was a temporary change.
Musk was particularly criticized for the massive staff cutbacks that brought Twitter employees from 8,000 to "only" 1,500 workers. A cut that even Musk did not enjoy, as he himself told the BBC.
