The lawsuits are against the landlords, consultants and vendors of the buildings where Twitter has offices. Twitter is facing nine lawsuits at the time of writing, totaling $14 million plus interest.

In an email to employees on November 10, 2022, Musk explained that the company's financial situation was dire, and said that if things didn't improve, Twitter could go bankrupt in 2023. I'm here.

So far, Musk has addressed past financial challenges by putting pressure on landlords, suppliers and vendors to cut costs and extending payment deadlines. Three of the lawsuits against Twitter in the United States are about unpaid rent of about $ 6.8 million (about 900 million yen) in December 2022 and January 2023 at Twitter's San Francisco headquarters.

Since November 2022, when Mr. Mask acquired Twitter, Twitter has carried out a large-scale personnel reduction by Mr. Mask, and has significantly reduced expenses, including meals at the headquarters.

False. Twitter spends $13M/year on food service for SF HQ. Badge in records show peak occupancy was 25%, average occupancy below 10%.

There are more people preparing breakfast than eating breakfast.

They don't even bother serving dinner, because there is no one in the building.

Last 3 months were extremely tough, as had to save Twitter from bankruptcy, while fulfilling essential Tesla & SpaceX duties. Wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.

Twitter still has challenges, but is now trending to breakeven if we keep at it. Public support is much appreciated!
