Twitter is being sued by its owner for rent evasion for its headquarters in downtown San Francisco, where the platform reportedly underwent heavy cost-cutting under latest CEO Elon Musk.
The corporate owes $136,260 in unpaid rent, based on a lawsuit filed Thursday by the Columbia Property Trust.
Free Twitter loading was announced early last month by the Recent York Times, which wrote that Musk and his advisers hoped to renegotiate the terms of their leases after the mass layoffs.
The reduction has already began.
Twitter closed its offices in Seattle, The Times reported on Friday — reduction of cleansing and security services. The report found that employees brought their very own toilet paper to work.
Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in October and has been cutting costs ever since, amid what Musk admitted was a “huge drop” in revenue.
Cleansing staff and security were also laid off from the corporate’s Recent York and San Francisco offices, where employees were on strike demanding higher wages. In San Francisco, Musk condensed the corporate’s footprint at 650 California Street from 4 stories to 2, the Times reported.
On Christmas Eve, Musk ordered staff to go to a knowledge center in Sacramento to shut down key servers in a bid to chop costs, the Times reported.
Meanwhile, layoffs continued, with cuts to the corporate’s infrastructure and public policy departments last week, the report said.
Employees have been instructed to delay paying contractors or suppliers – including accountants and consultants working on key regulatory projects, the Times reported.
The corporate can be being sued for failing to pay nearly $200,000 for private charter flights made within the week Musk took over.
The report says employees expect more layoffs.
Twitter did not return a request for comment on the brand new lawsuit.
Musk has pledged to step down from running the corporate after conducting a poll on whether he should step down. A successor has not yet been chosen.
