Does anyone have a tl;dr?
I read the entire article but it was so boring I failed to absorb any of it.
TL;DR: Twitter, an organisation that had already been pivoting towards work from home, had a new office building built smack dab in the middle of the pandemic (when everybody was WFH) and then under Musk stopped paying the rent and was evicted. The end result is that the gorgeously designed new workspace is going to be cleared out whilst being completely pristine.
The article or the thread? The article is just a list of who's demanding payment from Twitter and how much Twitter owes each company. The thread explains why Twitter has a confusing system of multiple offices and a brand new expensive building (that they are not paying rent on).
It goes from bad to worse. Just read it, it's worth it because what's there is fairly concise and will tickle your schadenfreude gland.
