Elon Musk’s Twitter is once again facing legal action, this time from an Australian company specializing in project management and delivery. Facilitate Corp has filed a lawsuit in the US District Court, claiming that Twitter owes them over $700,000 for services provided in four international offices since last year. The suit alleges that Twitter owes $40,777 for decommissioning and storing the contents of their Sydney office, $257,444 for installing sensors in the London and Dublin offices, and $404,224 for outfitting the Singapore offices. This news was first reported by NCA Newswire.
According to Facilitate, they signed a master services agreement with Twitter in March 2021 after working with them since 2015 without any issues. The agreement stipulated that Twitter must pay within 60 days of receiving an invoice. However, Facilitate claims that Twitter has not paid the outstanding invoices and has not provided any justification for the non-payment.
The lawsuit also highlights the turbulent tenure of Elon Musk at Twitter, stating that the company’s content moderation decisions under his leadership, including the reinstatement of former President Donald Trump’s account, damaged its relationship with advertisers and led to a financial crisis. Facilitate alleges that Twitter responded to this financial crisis by requiring vendors to sue for payment.
Bloomberg reported in May that at least 10 other vendors, including small businesses, have sued Twitter over unpaid bills since December.
In response to the lawsuit, Twitter, following its recent custom, responded with a poop emoji when asked for comment by HuffPost.
In recent weeks, Twitter has started repaying Google Cloud for its services after a period of non-payment reportedly initiated by Elon Musk. The relationship between the two companies was mended after Twitter’s new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, intervened, as reported by Bloomberg.
Furthermore, Elon Musk announced over the weekend that Twitter is implementing limits on the posts users can see based on their account status. Accounts that exceed these temporary limits may be locked for the day, as reported by The Associated Press.
In conclusion, Elon Musk’s Twitter is once again embroiled in legal disputes, this time with Facilitate Corp over unpaid bills. The lawsuit highlights the financial struggles faced by Twitter and the contentious decisions made under Musk’s leadership. The outcome of this lawsuit will shed light on the resolution of this ongoing issue.
