Musk’s X is sending bird signs and office decor from Twitter days up for auction
An auction and wealth advisory firm is set to sell hundreds of items dating back to social media site X as Twitter in a mid-September auction.
According to Heritage Global Partners’ website, more than 580 items in the two-day online auction will include a variety of pieces, some more specific to X’s former Twitter branding than others.
Bidding for them is scheduled to begin on the morning of September 12th.
The social media company of tech billionaire Elon Musk has been called X since it was renamed at the end of July and does without the well-known blue bird logo.
Other parts of the platform have also made the transition, such as the Twitter Blue subscription service becoming X Premium and the Twitter Help Center changing to the X Help Center.
Some of the Twitter specific elements Included in the Twitter rebranding auction are among others Neon Marquee Light Sign shaped like a hashtag, a “What’s Happening” agamograph, and A birdcage hanging bedshowed the auction website.
Several bird-logo signs also make their way onto the auction block, a pair whose descriptions said the buyer would require “hiring an SF-licensed company with appropriate permits” because they were affixed to X’s downtown San Francisco building.
For a short time, a large X sign stood atop the former Twitter building, FOX Business previously reported.
It has since been removed.
Bids on hundreds of Twitter-era items will automatically start at $25, according to the auction and wealth advisory firm’s website. In addition, a buyer’s premium of 19% is given.
FOX Business has asked X to comment on the auction.
Heritage Global Partners has auctioned Twitter office supplies in the past.
As in the previous auction in January, the upcoming auction will feature numerous typical office items such as office chairs, technology, sofas, tables and kitchen appliances.
Musk privatized Twitter at the end of October, paying a staggering $44 billion for it. About five and a half months later, he merged it into X Corp.
More than once, Musk has expressed a desire to make Twitter an “everything app.”
“X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – focused on audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services and opportunities,” wrote Linda Yaccarino, who is taking over the position of CEO of X from Musk has on the platform in July.
“Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we are only just beginning to imagine.”
