In the midst of mid-2023, Elon Musk rebranded his Twitter handle to X and replaced the iconic blue bird logo at the San Francisco headquarters with the letter X.
Where did the original blue bird sign go? Well, it was successfully auctioned off for a cool $34,375 or approximately 1.16 million baht. The winning bidder chose to remain anonymous but had to cover the cost of transporting the bird from the warehouse in San Francisco.
The Twitter bird, affectionately named Larry (after basketball legend Larry Bird), at this headquarters measures a hefty 145 x 105 x 20 inches and weighs around 560 pounds or 254 kilograms.
