Twitter Accused of Non-Payment for Office Services

Twitter is facing another lawsuit after the company was accused of non-payment for the services of its offices in London, Dublin, Sydney and Singapore.

The Sydney-based infrastructure services company is seeking more than A$1 million ($666,000) in payments owed since last October, when Elon Musk bought the platform.

Services Provided and Payment Issues

Services provided include assistance with installing sensors in London and Dublin and office equipment in Singapore, while service has been halted in Australia, according to documents obtained by the British newspaper The Guardian.

The case, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Northern California in late June, was first published by NCA Newswire.

After Musk acquired Twitter, the company said the social network didn’t dispute the bills, it just didn’t pay them.

According to court documents, the company is not the only one to sue Twitter since Musk took over.

Advertisers Alienated

The company explained that Musk’s moderate decisions and the lifting of the ban imposed on far-right and neo-Nazi accounts alienated advertisers and caused the platform’s financial crisis.

Notably, Twitter stopped paying rent for some of its offices and stopped paying many of the merchants it still used.

Twitter has also terminated several contracts and stopped paying people it owes money to.

According to the newspaper, the popular site has already faced lawsuits due to non-payment of rent for offices around the world.

There has also been speculation that the company’s decision to limit unpaid users to only 600 tweets per day last week was the result of non-payment of utility bills to keep the site running smoothly.
