Twitter Faces Lawsuit After Not Paying $136,000 in Rent of Its San Francisco Office

Social media company Twitter is currently facing a lawsuit after California Property Trust noted in its legal filings that Elon Musk's company failed to pay $136,250 in rent.

The California Property Trust notified Twitter on December 16 that it would default on its lease for the 30th floor of the Hartford Building if it did not pay its outstanding rent within five days.

California Property Trust said Twitter failed to follow the order, according to its complaint with the San Francisco County Superior Court.

Twitter had a seven-year lease for the building space in 2017.

Aside from its lawsuit for failing to pay for its rent, Twitter is also accused of refusing to pay for two charter flights in October worth $187,725. The lawsuit was filed last month in New Hampshire District Court.

Musk has since brought SpaceX lawyers to Twitter to ramp up the social media company's legal team.

Earlier reports circulated that Twitter stopped paying rent in recent weeks on all of its global offices to cut operational costs.

Twitter San Francisco Office

Twitter San Francisco offices have been cut from four floors to two and have slashed its janitorial services for almost a month.

Janitors working in the company went on strike in early December, clamoring for better wages, and Musk responded by getting rid of the janitorial services.

Remaining workers noted that the Twitter San Francisco office "is in disarray," noting that people were packed into more confined spaces and the smell of "leftover takeout food and body odor has lingered on the floors."

The recent development prompted the remaining workers to reportedly bring their own toilet paper.

An internal document showed that Musk has sought to save about $500 million in nonlabor costs.

Musk said that Twitter had "a little over 2,000 people."

The company has also skipped payments to the accounting and consulting firm KPMG.

Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover

Musk fired Twitter senior executives when he gained control of the company. He also slashed the social media company's workforce by 50%.

The new Twitter CEO also admitted that the company saw a "massive drop in revenue" after he successfully completed his Twitter buyout deal.

Musk then blamed it on campaign groups lobbying advertisers about the future of safety and content guidelines.

Among the brands that paused their spending on the platform include Audi, Pfizer, and General Motors.

Twitter also launched the social media's premium service "Blue," wherein users can verify their accounts for just $8 a month.

The introduction of the Blue service aims to curb spam accounts, according to Musk.

Musk also lifted the suspensions on the accounts operated by former U.S. President Donald Trump, British-American former kickboxer Andrew Tate, and Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson.

American rapper Kanye West was also reinstated but was suspended again after he tweeted a swastika within a star of David.
