What are the odds of this eviction actually happening? The deadline is the end of July and it sounds like pocket change to Musk. I'd lean towards "No, they won't actually be evicted."

Unless musk is making some sort of point.

  I want everyone to come back to work in the office. If your office is no longer available, neither is your job. That point?

  The point being that he's in favor of theft of service and cheating people?

The odds are 100% because it is already "actually happening". Whether it happens completely or not remains to be seen. But it's already a huge disgrace.

Are they paying any part of rent? If not just kick them on the curb, lock the doors and get someone to reposes anything inside for junkyard value.

The eviction has already been ordered. It must be carried out by the end of July. That's not a new deadline to pay owed rent, that's just the timeline for executing the eviction.

Why wouldn't an eviction take place? Your comment implies that the money will just show up at the last minute, but as I read it it's way too late for the that when the sheriff gets called up to assist in the eviction. All of the pieces are in place, and who wants a demonstrably unreliable tenant? End of July, call up the sheriff and shovel Twitter's stuff onto the streets. I don't own the building (or any building other than my own house), but I'd go looking for a tenant who pays their bills.

  It's not unheard of for businesses to pay up when the punitive action is real and on their doorstep (see BoA branch being foreclosed on for failing to pay a legal settlement paying up on the day of: https://business.time.com/2011/06/06/homeowner-forecloses-on-bank-of-america-yes-you-heard-that-right/ https://business.time.com/2011/06/06/homeowner-forecloses-on...)

    True, but in that case, apropos of the homeowner's frustration, he likely didn't want to shut down BoA's branch entirely, just force them into action. This landlord, however, may well be done with Twitter. "Pay what you owe, AND GTFO."

My impression is that he'd prefer fewer offices, more conveniently-located for him. I'd be surprised if he actually paid up.

  It's quite likely Boulder is actually more than fine, his brother Kimbal is or was involved with at least one restaurant there, but he doesn't like the airport situation. The one in Boulder is too small and the one in Superior is too far away.
