Never give these rich assholes credit unless there is an airtight contract for payment.
There is no such thing as an airtight contract when dealing with Musk. He simply ignores it until you sue.
Same thing as Trump.
Doesn't matter how perfect your contract is, as long as they can afford to fight the lawsuit longer than you you're gonna lose.
You'd think people would learn to not contract with these assholes at all.
You just have to work in legal costs to anything you do. Call it an asshole tax
Never give these rich assholes credit ~~unless there is an airtight contract for payment~~.
Cash on delivery is extremely rare in the business world, especially when dealing with enterprise customers. While I have no doubt many of Twitter's vendors have recently switched to COD, that is not the norm.
These types of relationships typically work on anywhere from 30 to 90 day terms, depending on the vendor, client, and their history.
“Your Honor, the board voted to pay this guy a salary of nearly that amount - per day. If it would please the court, fuck this guy and the board and please make them pay their bills.”
"Your honor, rather than pay his outstanding debts, this shiftless f***wit used 75 million dollars to fund a SuperPAC to bother people at their homes for the benefit of the Trump campaign."
Turn off the servers
X/Twitter has its own data centers, this is for physical equipment under X's control. They need to get a judgment (which the article indicates they're working on) before they can do anything. Presumably after months to years of litigation they can then repossess the servers, but then X would probably at the last minute pay the bill.
That's how his Department Of Government Efficiency will save billions.
Seems aligned with Trump's habit of shafting his sub-contractors.
Which is what Trump wants, as he also publicly admits he just doesn’t pay bills if he doesn’t feel like it.
Looking forward to all the lawsuits between the two should he lose.
Didn't he just donate 75 mil towards fascism? But can't pay his bills...
Paying bills is for poor people. Rich people don’t need to do that. How would they stay rich?
They should seize and sell his private jet.
You misspelled "harvest" and "organs".
Lol, Elon is the new Trump, what a mooch. Take away message, Never do business with these types, you will never get paid.
Strip "Leon" of his US citizenship, use a court order to take the money from his account and ship his Dork MAGA ass off to Moscow or Johannesburg.
off to Moscow
Only if China or America are willing to receive Pu's ass.
Could you imagine how upset Republicans would be if some random Mexican immigrant used $61m of resources and didn’t pay? But if it’s a rich white guy that owes that much they are fine with it.
Not paying bills is an ego trip for these scumbags. Maybe it’s the only way they can get an erection.
And yet the US throws poor people in prison for not being able to afford paying their debts.
Do the world a favor and repossess that shit.
This is the efficiency of the market at work.
