Despite all its efforts to reduce its expenses, it is clear that Twitter has not paid its rent… On December 29, the owner of the Hartford building filed a complaint in court in San Francisco. Columbia Reit, which leases its facilities from the company, claims $136,250 in unpaid invoices, Bloomberg reports.
In mid-December, the New York Times revealed that the social network, taken over by Elon Musk, had not paid rent for several weeks. Now, Twitter is in default after the notification of its landlord, on December 16, to settle its debts within a period of five days. A mandate that has not been fulfilled.
A round-trip jet ride for nearly $200,000
Another complaint has been filed against Twitter, again with the aim of claiming unpaid sums. The Private Jet Services group seized New Hampshire District Court on December 9, The Hill reports. The platform refuses to pay $197,725 for two flights made by its director Leslie Berland.
The only problem is that this round trip to San Francisco from the Teterboro airport in New Jersey took place on October 26 and 27. One day before Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter. That is why the new owner refuses to pay this bill. Since his arrival, the rules regarding business travel have been tightened and authorized expenses have been revised downwards.
This measure is part of the search for costs launched by Elon Musk. A race for the economy that has led to the end of many benefits for employees, at least for those who have escaped the great wave of layoffs. Therefore, cafeterias had no choice but to remove their grilled shrimp from menus. Since then, the company has even auctioned off its kitchen cabinets.
