        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

        1. 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 .

          Elon told me he would only pay rent over his dead body.

          Wow, what an insufferable douchebag he is.

            Personally I have no issue with wanting to break free from landlords but the fraud theft and staff endangerment aren’t great.

              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.

    @mint
    Si je comprend bien, apres des toilettes qui puent parce qu’ils ne paient pas l’entreprise de nettoyage, ils se font virer de leurs locaux parce qu’ils ne paient pas le loyer, et ils ne veulent pas non plus payer les factures du cloud de Google qu’ils utilisent.
    Mais Elon est un génie.
    Wokay.

      Y a des gens qui promeuvent son intelligence, hein. Je pense que c’est pour ces gens là que les étiquettes “ne pas boire” ont été inventées sur les bouteilles de javel.

      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.

    Pathetic. How anyone can deal or invest with “businessmen” like Trump and Musk who mainly grift, steal, lie and don‘t even pay their debts—no clue!

      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…
