The 'w' in question.
  • Elon Musk painted over the "w" in Twitter's name on the sign outside its San Francisco headquarters.
  • He said Twitter's landlord told the company that the sign was legally required to read as "Twitter."
  • "So we painted it background color. Problem solved!" Musk tweeted on Sunday.

Elon Musk appears to really want the sign outside Twitter's San Francisco headquarters to say "Titter" — and he was ready to have some paintwork done to make it happen.

In a tweet on Sunday, the social media platform's CEO posted a picture of the sign with the "w" painted over in white to blend in with the background.

Musk wrote in his caption: "Our landlord at SF HQ says we're legally required to keep sign as Twitter & cannot remove 'w', so we painted it background color. Problem solved!"
