Twitter Employees Escorted Out of Singapore Office (Gizmodo)Twitter CEO Elon Musks brilliant ideas have resulted in embarrassment yet again. This time, the impact fell on employees in the companys Singapore offices, who were reportedly unceremoniously escorted out of the building by landlords because the company didnt pay the rent on time.
According to Bloomberg, Twitter employees were told to leave the companys 22,000-square-foot office at the CapitaGreen building in Singapore, which had served as its Asia-Pacific headquarters since 2015, on Wednesday before 5 p.m. The Platformer newsletter reported that Twitter workers were walked out by the buildings landlords because the company had not paid rent, a practice Musk has been also been employing in leased offices in San Francisco and Seattle. Insider reported that Musk paid the overdue rent late Wednesday Pacific Time and that employees were told to return to the office.

(20,877 posts)1. This is not looking good for Twitter
I am sad to read this as I rather like the anonymity of twitter.
The way this is going, they are going to go belly up sooner rather than later.
& recommend.

He is clearly a grifter. This sort of thing doesnt happen to companies owned by actual billionaires. He has lost all credibility and permanently destroyed his reputation. Any respectable lender, vendor or potential business partner would consider doing business with him now.

(14,275 posts)5. Going forward - he's too toxic
I wonder if he lost a lot in the recent crypto crash too. It seems he is unable to pay bills and meet basic financial commitments. He acts insolvent, not mega wealthy.
