Twitter, owned by Elon Musk, is facing a lawsuit for non-payment of service for offices located in London, Dublin, Sydney and Singapore. Sydney-based infrastructure company Facilitate is seeking more than $1 million in payments to three businesses for alleged outstanding payments in October last year, when Elon Musk acquired Twitter, The Guardian reported.
where is the balance
According to the case documents, Facilitate offered sensor installation at Twitter’s London and Dublin offices and an office fit-out in Singapore. In addition, the infrastructure company shut down Twitter’s Sydney office in Australia and temporarily stored its contents. The company claims it is owed 203 pounds, 115, 546, 596 Singapore dollars and 61,318 Australian dollars respectively, the report said.
The matter was first reported by NCA Newswire
The case, filed in the US District Court for Northern California last month, was first reported by NCA Newswire. The firm claimed that after Musk took over Twitter, the micro-blogging platform decided not to pay the bill. The facilitator is seeking costs and damages. It has been said in the report that Twitter has not yet filed a defense petition. In court filings, Facilitate said it was not the only company suing Twitter since Musk took control.
Musk’s moderation decisions lead to a crisis
According to the firm, Musk’s moderation decisions alienated advertisers and caused a financial crisis for the company. The firm said Twitter stopped paying rent for some of its offices and stopped paying several vendors whose services it was still using. Twitter also canceled several contracts and stopped paying those who owed it money. Meanwhile, reports surfaced last month that the micro-blogging platform has refused to pay Google Cloud bills. Later, however, Twitter CEO Linda Yacarino settled strained relations with Google Cloud over non-payment of its bills before the June 30 contract deadline.
