> Reports began surfacing as early as December that Musk is refusing to pay rent for Twitter's offices... And what's the strategy there? Isn't the best that can be expected is Musk kicks the can down the road, and in the end pays the rent plus $$$ in legal fees? I'm sure someone will say Musk is a billionaire and they can weasel out of anything in the legal system, but he wasn't able to do that for the Twitter acquisition and wouldn't a lease be a pretty air-tight contract?

No, the best outcome is actually that Musk is in a negotiable position since due to office vacancies those properties would just sit vacant. That means he likely can manage to settle for less than his current rent because the owners will be willing to negotiate -- because some money is still better than no money.
