Elon Musk's Twitter isn't paying its bills - Axios
Musk is just Trump 2.0

Twitter has stopped paying the rent on some of its office leases and hasn't paid numerous other vendors since Elon Musk acquired the company in late October, Axios has learned from multiple sources.
Why it matters: One of the world's richest men isn't honoring financial obligations made to those with far fewer resources.
What to know: Twitter had offices all over the world before Musk acquired it, and many of them remain in use. But it leases the space, rather than owns it.
Since Musk took over, the monthly bills haven't been getting paid.
Axios has obtained emails between Twitter employees and several frustrated landlords, who could be best described as getting the run-around.
In some cases, the landlords offered lease termination deals whereby Twitter wouldn't owe the full amount, but were rebuffed.
One major issue seems to be that many of the landlords' contacts at Twitter have either been fired or quit, leaving behind junior staffers who are trying to catch up.
