San Francisco, May 21 (Ians) Elon Musk apparently told a Twitter investor during a 4 a.m. call that he would pay the company’s office rent “over my dead body”.
According to a new lawsuit filed by six former Twitter employees against Twitter, Pablo Mendoza, a venture capitalist who invested in Twitter 2.0, had a chat with Musk in the wee hours, reports Business Insider.
Musk bluntly told Mendoza that not paying rent was non-negotiable with ‘over his dead body’ remark.
The lawsuit said that Joseph Killian, a plaintiff who worked at Twitter for 12 years and oversaw office design, was aware that Musk decided to stop paying office rent.
“Killian attempted to convince Musk, via Mendoza, of the danger of Musk’s new position that no rent would be paid whatsoever, pointing out that any attempt to renegotiate the terms of Twitter’s many leases would be doomed to failure,” the lawsuit alleged.
