Elon Musk to auction off Twitter memorabilia

Elon Musk is putting Twitter building signs and other items from the company up for auction after recently rebranding the company as X.

Among the 584 lots on offer are coffee tables, outsized bird cages, and oil paintings of images that went viral. Also listed are tens of desks and chairs, a DJ booth, and enough musical instruments to equip a band.

Since buying the social media platform last year, Mr Musk has cut thousands of jobs in an effort to lower costs.

The auction has been called "Twitter Rebranding: Online Auction Featuring Memorabilia, Art, Office Assets & More!"

One of the Twitter signs on offer is still fixed to the company's headquarters on 10th Street in San Francisco.

Last month, an attempt to remove a different Twitter sign was temporarily halted by authorities in San Francisco.

Last month, the firm dropped the blue bird logo from its branding and replaced it with a black and white X.
