Sounds like a tactic to get the landlords to evict Twitter rather than work through the original lease.

Other than a lawsuit that’s as of yet unresolved, this seems to be the main source for your claim, from The New York Times: > To cut costs, Twitter has not paid rent for its San Francisco headquarters or any of its global offices for weeks, three people close to the company said. People who believe Musk is being hounded for ideological reasons also believe that NYT is among the culprits.

Heaven forbid!!! But why should the mainstream media give a shit about that?

  You think if Google or Toyota or Maersk or HSBC or AT&T stopped paying rent on their offices it wouldn’t be a major news story? It would be because it would have a dramatic impact on their perceived solvency and their share price. I’m quite familiar with the Elon fanboy who says “masterful move sir” when he sees Elon slam his dick in a car door. But you’re in a different category. Your response to dick destruction seems to be “nothing to see here, it’s a regular, normal activity. The mainstream media is persecuting Elon!”

      This is what Hackernews has become. Fox News/Trump sound bites "mainstream media" and insults "you're an idiot". Sad but I guess it reflects American discourse nowadays.
