  Wow they’re strobing lights too. Must be awful for people at night.

    Looks broken the flash pattern is so oddly cycled and weird that I thought there must be some illusions at play with camera frame rates.

      I wouldn’t put it past Musk to have had it programmed in such a way to maximally cause discomfort.

  What purpose does that light serve?
  • tekla 3y ago
    It lets you see it in the dark

    To piss people off.

  Any airline pilot here would like to comment if this thing can be distracting, if not dangerous, for a landing plane?

    Unlikely you'd even see it in a sea of city lights; not close enough to SFO to matter.

  Rapidly flashing lights! At night! That is without a doubt the singularly most obnoxious signage I've ever seen. I hope the city is successful in getting it removed.

    Must be having massive midlife nostalgia of the 90s: - bring back x.com from his 90s company - get back into payments like X/PayPal - logo for his company is dead ringer for the 90s X-window icon - decided to implement a real world implementation of the ubiquitous <blink> HTML atop their office

  Was thinking just let them keep their sign till I watched that video. That sign needs to be permanently unplugged.
