Tech magnate Elon Musk has organized an auction featuring items and signage from the former Twitter building, shortly after the company's rebranding to X. The auction, named 'Twitter Rebranding: Online Auction Featuring Memorabilia, Art, Office Assets & More!', is set to commence on September 12 and conclude within two days, according to the BBC.
Heritage Global Partners, the auction house, has set a minimum bid of $25 for each item. Among the 584 items up for auction are coffee tables, large bird cages, and oil paintings of viral images. The collection also includes numerous desks, chairs, a DJ booth, and a variety of musical instruments suitable for a band. Notably, one of the Twitter signs listed for auction remains affixed to the company's San Francisco headquarters on 10th Street.
"Bird is still mounted on side of the building. Buyer is responsible for hiring an SF Licensed Company with appropriate Permits," the listing specifies.
