Lawsuit filed against Twitter in 4 countries over unpaid bills

San Francisco: Elon Musk-owned Twitter is facing a lawsuit in four countries over unpaid bills, including offices in London, Dublin, Sydney, and Singapore.

According to The Guardian, the Sydney-based infrastructure company Facilitate is seeking over A$1 million in payments for services rendered since October of last year, when Elon Musk acquired Twitter.

According to case documents, the services provided by Facilitate include sensor installation in London and Dublin offices, office fit-out in Singapore, and the decommissioning and storage of contents from Twitter's Sydney office.

"The company claims it is owed £203,115, SGD$546,596, and A$61,318, respectively," the report said.

The lawsuit, filed in the US district court of Northern California, alleges that Twitter did not dispute the invoices but chose not to pay them.

Facilitate is seeking costs and damages. It is also mentioned that other companies have filed lawsuits against Twitter since Musk took control, citing financial crisis caused by Musk's moderation decisions.

This includes the unbanning of far-right and neo-Nazi accounts, which led to advertiser alienation and caused a financial crisis for the company.

The case, filed in the US district court of Northern California at the end of last month, was first reported by NCA Newswire.

"Twitter responded with a campaign of extreme belt-tightening that amounted to requiring nearly everyone to whom it owes money to sue," the firm said.

"Twitter stopped paying rent on some of its offices and stopped paying several vendors whose services it was still using. Twitter also cancelled many contracts and stopped paying people to whom it owes money."

Twitter has not yet submitted a defense filing. Additionally, previous reports revealed that Twitter had refused to pay Google Cloud bills, but CEO Linda Yaccarino settled the issue over non-payments of its bills before the June 30 contract deadline.
