Twitter Bird Sign Sold for $35,000

A big Twitter bird sign from the companyโ€™s old office in San Francisco has sold for nearly $35,000 at an auction. The iconic sign, known as โ€œLarry,โ€ was a symbol of Twitter for 16 years. It stood proudly in front of the companyโ€™s headquarters before Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022. After Musk took over, he changed the name of the company to X and rebranded everything. The sale of this sign marks another piece of Twitterโ€™s history being auctioned off.

Auction Sale Below Expected Value

The auction was held by RR Auction, a company known for selling rare and collectible items. The sign sold for $34,375, which is a bit less than its expected value of $40,000. The auction company described the sign as a large and impressive piece, which attracted quite a bit of attention. Despite selling for less than expected, the signโ€™s sale still made a lot of noise, especially with how much it represented the Twitter brand over the years.

The Signโ€™s Size and Weight

This large Twitter bird sign is no small item. It weighs around 560 pounds, making it very heavy. The size is even more impressive, measuring 12 feet by 9 feet. It was once displayed outside Twitterโ€™s headquarters in San Francisco, greeting everyone who passed by. The size and weight made it a hard item to miss, and its sale brought a lot of interest from collectors. The sign was a piece of history, and now it will be kept in someoneโ€™s private collection.

Who Bought the Iconic Sign?

The auction company didnโ€™t reveal who the buyer was. They also didnโ€™t share any details about where the money from the sale will go. This secrecy is common in auctions like this, where buyers often wish to remain anonymous. However, itโ€™s clear that the sign holds significant value as part of Twitterโ€™s legacy. Itโ€™s a reminder of how big and influential the company was during its prime years.

Muskโ€™s Auction History

Elon Musk, the CEO of X, has been auctioning off a variety of items from the old Twitter offices. He has sold many things, including other signs, kitchen items, and even old furniture. These items have become collectibles, giving people a chance to own a piece of Twitterโ€™s past. Muskโ€™s actions of selling these items reflect his shift from the old Twitter to the new X. It also highlights how he is reshaping the company in his own image.

RR Auction Sells Rare Items

RR Auction is well-known for selling rare and valuable items. Over the years, the company has auctioned off all sorts of historical pieces, including footage of JFKโ€™s assassination and front pages of the New York Post. They specialize in offering rare collectibles that attract interest from all over the world. Since 2022, RR Auction has sold 53 items directly connected to Elon Musk. These items mostly include signed photographs and dollar bills, allowing fans and collectors to grab a piece of Muskโ€™s personal history.
