Reminds me of a meme (read brilliant idea) I saw where US minimum wage should be tied to average rent in order to start a war between landlords and companies.
Elon doesn't pay rent, one member of the transition team told Hawkins.
Another member of the transition team put it more bluntly to Killian: Elon told me he would
only pay rent over his dead body.
7. Both Killian and Hawkins were told that for Musk, the fact that Twitter was
legally or contractually obligated to pay a particular sum would be irrelevant to the decision of
whether to actually pay it when that amount came due that Musk operated on a zero cost basis"
And
Between the demands that he effectively participate in theft and fraud and
instructions to take actions inviolation of California law and that could put his colleagues lives
at risk in the event of a fire a possibility only increased by the unlicensed use of space heaters
Killian had no choice but to walk away from the job he had dedicated over a decade of his life to .
It's one way companies cancel leases and may be the best way to break a lease depending on how it's written. Then they get evicted and the lease is cancelled.
Look at San Francisco and all the companies just walking away from buildings while stopping any payments to said leases and loans. It's not that uncommon.
Naah. This is (in his POV) excelent. He can just fire an e-mail at 3:00AM saying: "Everyone from Boulder will have to check in to the SF office by tomorrow. If you fail to do so, I'll assume you abandoned work and is no longer employed at Twitter".
Thankfully the laws aren't always super dumb and take into account pretext. For example, if he said "If you don't show up to work in San Francisco then I will take that as your resignation." then it would be what's called a constructive dismissal. It is in fact a termination, because the demands are so unreasonable precisely in order to get employees to quit. So he'd still be on the hook for any severance owed, etc

Si je comprend bien, apres des toilettes qui puent parce qu'ils ne paient pas l'entreprise de nettoyage, ils se font virer de leurs locaux parce qu'ils ne paient pas le loyer, et ils ne veulent pas non plus payer les factures du cloud de Google qu'ils utilisent.
Mais Elon est un génie.
Wokay.
Y a des gens qui promeuvent son intelligence, hein.
Je pense que c'est pour ces gens là que les étiquettes "ne pas boire" ont été inventées sur les bouteilles de javel.

I'm TeamEdison: dude was genuinely smart and helped a lot of inventions go to market.
And Edison and Tesla were both massive a-holes.
