Twitter is being evicted from its Boulder office over unpaid rent
Twitter is being evicted from its Boulder office over unpaid rent
Twitter owes three months' rent to its Boulder landlord, and a judge has signed off on evicting the tech giant from its office there.
Elon said "come back to the office" girl what office???
Elon shows an old building ready to get demolished This office !
@mint I really don't have much love for landlords, but them and huge CEO fucktwits fighting against each other is definitely an "oh, nice"
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.
Oh that's kinda genius.
Is there anything Twitter is paying for????
They're paying in spades for Elon fucking everything up.
Unbelievable really. These quotes from one of his many other lawsuits shows just how entitled he is.
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 .
Musk: People who WFH are lazy and should come back to the office
Musk: .....but I aint paying the rent on that office!
Or janitorial staff or pay for toilet paper.
Twitter has an office in Boulder? Makes sense I thought Elon was living under a rock.
Ba dum tss! For real though, how did he think skipping rent was going to be ok?
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.
I wish I had more to add to this conversation, but for now this will have to suffice: 😂
Also consider “💩”. Musk is quite fond of this one, I'm told.
Lol. Duly noted.👍
I await the day a sheriff shows up at one of their offices to confiscate some property to settle debts.
Didn't Elon wante to end remote work? Seems like he needs to make up is mind...
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".
What a POS...
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
Twitter is dying, but not some very spectacular death of the service stopping to work altogether in one day, but a slow, painful one.
Yeah even Digg still exists as a husk of its former self.
Stories never end... They peter out.
Its the same death as most social websites. They just sorta fade from the minds of the public until its just a husk with 10 daily users.
Honestly, it was only a matter of time before this happened. I'm not surprised at all..
WFH 4eva
Wait, why only for Eva? What about all the others?
Eva proved her work ethic over the Covid snow day so she gets to sleep in
@mint
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.
Pathetic. How anyone can deal or invest with "businessmen" like Trump and Musk who mainly grift, steal, lie and don‘t even pay their debts—no clue!
The irony of the man choosing to use the name Tesla when he's just another Edison.
Actually, even that is probably giving him too much credit...
@Zelsabriel @LostCause
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.haha, amazing. Haven't thought of that before, it's quite fitting.
Can't go back to the office if there's no office to return to.
This is fine according to Lord Elon, right?
Based landchads.
I love this song
Can't believe they laid their own landlord off.
Embarrassing
easy way to get out of the lease...
