Twitter is getting evicted from its Colorado office over unpaid rent A judge deemed that the company must vacate by the end of July.
It’s another day, so here’s another entry in the endless “Twitter is slowly becoming an empty husk” conversation.
The judge sided with the landlord and has given Twitter until the end of July to vacate.
The line of credit ran out a few months back and Twitter failed to make any additional payments.
TechCrunch unearthed another Colorado lawsuit aimed at Twitter, as a local cleaning company claims the social media site didn’t pay its bills, totaling nearly $100,000 for services rendered.
Good b… Oh wait, we need more useful bots on Lemmy
Hehe so far I actually did it manually whenever I read a news post without any comment yet 😉 But my plan is to implement a bot once I find some time 😊 Would love to see the bots from reddit join lemmy 😁
Thanks for the summary. It would be great to see an actual bot for this purpose when we have too many articles to do it yourself. This was always a great way to get a basic idea whether the article was worth reading with that bot on Reddit.
OK, the conspiracy theory that Musk is deliberately tanking the company is starting to become believable. Given his insistence on people working in the office, refusal to pay the rent seems to be a little contradictory. He may have to reconsider that policy
I remember there was a thread that explained it. But basically it was because you can write it off if you don’t pay and you’re not liable. He’s basically downsizing. It’s like how rich people don’t pay taxes but normal people have to.
I’d be curious to see the thread in question if you can recall where it was.
It was a Twitter thread when he started refusing to pay, so pretty old now.
I don’t think he even consider people not right around him his employees.
Or he was really successful at tricking people into thinking he was smart. Now that he’s in the spotlight of the public more, people are shining the light and seeing that he just buys still and claims he made them.
At this point, I don’t know why any vendors would trust Twitter. It’s going to make it very hard for them to deal with other businesses. Elon can’t be that dumb, so maybe he really is trying to tank the company.
What complete losers.
Not only that but what a complete loser of a “businessman” Elon turned out to be. Can’t even pay your obligations…
Bring me 10 screenshots of the most salient lines of code you’ve written in the last 6 months.
Such hostility.
It’s an Elon quote
Oh. Suddenly that makes sense.
How about nooooooooo?
You ain’t gotta know how to code to see that this whole Twitter thing is an absolute shitshow.
He’s quoting Elon - Big Dummy Elon actually said this lol
edit: sorry for linking to Twitter, but this made news a while ago: https://twitter.com/ZoeSchiffer/status/1593649356661436417
Now I have to go back and remove my reduce. I guess some quotation marks might have helped avoid the confusion, but thanks for clearing it up!
I thought it was obvious, I copied the e-mail exactly as is. Well I apologize lol you had the right reaction to that brain dead mail.
Just another example of how billionaires become billionaires
In related news, Elon Musk has been adamant about ending remote work, but that’s likely to be difficult without, you know, office space.
I like this journalist.
Twitter disbanded its press arm and its trust and safety council, so there’s nobody to reach out to for comment.
I really like this journalist.
It’s refreshing to see one that doesn’t pull their punches. It’s also very refreshing to see the general aura of Elon being this genius fading away finally.
So many of them get softballed these hilarious articles and flub it anyway. Delightful.
I’m so happy everyone is finally seeing Elon for the nepot baby he is.
lmao so, in other words, the richest man alive fails to pay his rent. what a time we live in~
