An auction and asset advisory firm will sell a whole bunch of things from social media site X’s days as Twitter in a mid-September auction.
Greater than 580 items within the two-day online auction include quite a lot of pieces, with some more specific to X’s former Twitter branding than others, per Heritage Global Partners’ website.
Bidding for them is scheduled to start the morning of Sept. 12.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s social media company has passed by X since its rebranding in late July, eliminating its familiar blue bird logo.
Other parts of the platform have made the switch too, just like the Twitter Blue subscription service becoming X Premium and the Twitter Help Center changing to the X Help Center.
Among the Twitter-specific items within the Twitter rebranding auction include a neon marquee light sign shaped like a hashtag, a “What’s Happening” agamograph and a bird cage hanging daybed, the auction webpage showed.

Multiple bird logo signs are also hitting the auction block, a pair whose descriptions said would involve the customer “hiring an SF Licensed Company with appropriate Permits” as a result of them being attached to X’s downtown San Francisco constructing.
For a brief period, a big X sign stood on the roof of the previous Twitter constructing, FOX Business previously reported.
It has since been removed.

Bids for the a whole bunch of Twitter-era items will robotically start at $25, in keeping with the auction and asset advisory firm’s website. It also lists a 19% buyer’s premium.
FOX Business reached out to X for comment regarding the auction.

The upcoming auction, like a previous one in January, has loads of items typical of a workplace, like office chairs, technology, couches, tables and kitchen tools.
Musk took Twitter private in late October, paying an eye-popping $44 billion for the corporate. About 5½ months after that, he folded it into X Corp.
On a couple of occasion, Musk has expressed a desire to make an “all the pieces app” out of Twitter.
“X is the longer term state of unlimited interactivity — centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking — creating a worldwide marketplace for ideas, goods, services and opportunities,” Linda Yaccarino, who took over as CEO of X from Musk, wrote on the platform in July.
“Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just starting to assume.”
