Twitter has an office in Boulder? Makes sense I thought Elon was living under a rock.

Ba dum tss! For real though, how did he think skipping rent was going to be ok?
- TooTallSol ( @TooTallSol@kbin.social ) 15•1 year ago
It’s one way companies cancel leases and may be the best way to break a lease depending on how it’s written. Then they get evicted and the lease is cancelled.
Look at San Francisco and all the companies just walking away from buildings while stopping any payments to said leases and loans. It’s not that uncommon.
- GunnarRunnar ( @GunnarRunnar@kbin.social ) 15•1 year ago
What kind of damages would breaking a lease create compared to not paying rent and getting evicted after months? Why wouldn’t you still be in the hook for breaking a lease?
- blakerboy777 ( @blakerboy777@lemmy.one ) English9•1 year ago
Yeah, this really doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. The way a commercial lease is written, you owe all rent for the agreed upon term, to be paid monthly. If you want to break the lease, early termination may have some slight benefit or a way to mitigate having to pay out the entire term- for example you may be able to find a new tenenat and negotiate a smaller fee for breaking the lease since the landlord will have no loss in income. If you just stiff them on the payments, they will obviously just sue you for the full amount with no way to mitigate that. Who would write a lease that let one party unilaterally out of their obligation when they break the terms of the contract?

@mint I really don’t have much love for landlords, but them and huge CEO fucktwits fighting against each other is definitely an “oh, nice”

Reminds me of a meme (read brilliant idea) I saw where US minimum wage should be tied to average rent in order to start a war between landlords and companies.

They’re paying in spades for Elon fucking everything up.
- CurlyWurlies4All ( @CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net ) English27•1 year ago
Unbelievable really. These quotes from one of his many other lawsuits shows just how entitled he is.
Elon doesn’t pay rent, one member of the transition team told Hawkins. Another member of the transition team put it more bluntly to Killian: Elon told me he would only pay rent over his dead body. 7. Both Killian and Hawkins were told that for Musk, the fact that Twitter was legally or contractually obligated to pay a particular sum would be irrelevant to the decision of whether to actually pay it when that amount came due that Musk operated on a zero cost basis"
And
- Between the demands that he effectively participate in theft and fraud and instructions to take actions inviolation of California law and that could put his colleagues lives at risk in the event of a fire a possibility only increased by the unlicensed use of space heaters Killian had no choice but to walk away from the job he had dedicated over a decade of his life to .

Wow, what an insufferable douchebag he is.
- CurlyWurlies4All ( @CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net ) English8•1 year ago
Personally I have no issue with wanting to break free from landlords but the fraud theft and staff endangerment aren’t great.
- Cylinsier ( @Cylinsier@beehaw.org ) English8•1 year ago
It’s one thing when you’re living paycheck to paycheck and the landlord fucks you over with an arbitrary rent increase. It hits different when it’s a billionaire crybaby doing it because he thinks it makes him sound cool and not because it has anything to do with sticking it to the man.

- Anarch157a ( @Anarch157a@kbin.social ) 10•1 year ago
Naah. This is (in his POV) excelent. He can just fire an e-mail at 3:00AM saying: “Everyone from Boulder will have to check in to the SF office by tomorrow. If you fail to do so, I’ll assume you abandoned work and is no longer employed at Twitter”.
What a POS…
- EvilColeslaw ( @EvilColeslaw@beehaw.org ) 17•1 year ago
Thankfully the laws aren’t always super dumb and take into account pretext. For example, if he said “If you don’t show up to work in San Francisco then I will take that as your resignation.” then it would be what’s called a constructive dismissal. It is in fact a termination, because the demands are so unreasonable precisely in order to get employees to quit. So he’d still be on the hook for any severance owed, etc
- Hot Saucerman ( @dingus@lemmy.ml ) 13•1 year ago

He’s being sued left and right for… *checks notes… not paying severance. So I’m not so sure “on the hook for severance” means much either.

The irony of the man choosing to use the name Tesla when he’s just another Edison.
Actually, even that is probably giving him too much credit…
