San Francisco: Just weeks after Twitter rebranded to X, owner Elon Musk has put up signs and things from the old Twitter building for an auction.
The bidding for the auction will start on September 12 and is planned to finish within two days.
According to auction house Heritage Global Partners, the minimum bid for each item is $25.
The online auction is named 'Twitter Rebranding: Online Auction Featuring Memorabilia, Art, Office Assets & More!'
Coffee tables, large bird cages, and oil paintings of pictures that went viral are among the 584 pieces up for auction. Other listed items include a lot of desks and chairs, a DJ booth, and musical instruments.
One of the Twitter signs to be auctioned is still fixed on the company's headquarters on 10th Street in San Francisco. "Bird is still mounted on the side of the building. Buyer is responsible for hiring an SF Licensed Company with appropriate Permits," the listing mentioned.
Also up for auction are two oil paintings of pictures that went viral. The first is of Ellen Degeneres' star-studded selfie taken at the 2014 Academy Awards, and the second is of the picture that former US President Barack Obama posted after being re-elected in November 2012, which was the most-liked tweet on the platform at the time.
In January this year, the Musk-owned company had placed hundreds of items from its San Francisco headquarters up for auction online, including the bird statue and other office assets.
