This is a tl;dr based on smmry.com, the original was reduced by 68%:

Twitter is getting evicted from its Colorado office over unpaid rent A judge deemed that the company must vacate by the end of July.

It’s another day, so here’s another entry in the endless “Twitter is slowly becoming an empty husk” conversation.

The judge sided with the landlord and has given Twitter until the end of July to vacate.

The line of credit ran out a few months back and Twitter failed to make any additional payments.

TechCrunch unearthed another Colorado lawsuit aimed at Twitter, as a local cleaning company claims the social media site didn’t pay its bills, totaling nearly $100,000 for services rendered.

Hehe so far I actually did it manually whenever I read a news post without any comment yet 😉 But my plan is to implement a bot once I find some time 😊 Would love to see the bots from reddit join lemmy 😁

Thanks for the summary. It would be great to see an actual bot for this purpose when we have too many articles to do it yourself. This was always a great way to get a basic idea whether the article was worth reading with that bot on Reddit.

In related news, Elon Musk has been adamant about ending remote work, but that’s likely to be difficult without, you know, office space.

I like this journalist.

Twitter disbanded its press arm and its trust and safety council, so there’s nobody to reach out to for comment.

I really like this journalist.

It’s refreshing to see one that doesn’t pull their punches. It’s also very refreshing to see the general aura of Elon being this genius fading away finally.

OK, the conspiracy theory that Musk is deliberately tanking the company is starting to become believable. Given his insistence on people working in the office, refusal to pay the rent seems to be a little contradictory. He may have to reconsider that policy

I remember there was a thread that explained it. But basically it was because you can write it off if you don’t pay and you’re not liable. He’s basically downsizing. It’s like how rich people don’t pay taxes but normal people have to.

I’d be curious to see the thread in question if you can recall where it was.

It was a Twitter thread when he started refusing to pay, so pretty old now.

Or he was really successful at tricking people into thinking he was smart. Now that he’s in the spotlight of the public more, people are shining the light and seeing that he just buys still and claims he made them.

What I’m hearing is you can live rent free for about 3 months before you can be evicted by court order.

That’s actually standing law in Germany. At least for people and their homes.

I heard it’s when you owe two months’ rent, which is the case after 32 days.
