Elon Musk auctions off the Twitter bird and coffee machines to pay rent

Tech billionaire and the world’s second-richest man, Elon Musk, has been in the limelight since he acquired Twitter for $44 billion. The social media company is now struggling to pay rent for its offices and is facing a debt burden.

The social media company has been unable to negotiate a new lease with the landlord to pay rent for its offices. Twitter reportedly hired Heritage Global Partners to auction off things from the Twitter headquarter.

Twitter bird statue, random office supplies, coffee machines, kitchen equipment and furniture have been put on sale. The 4-feet high Twitter bird statue is currently available at a bid of $20,500. iMacs and stationary bike stations capable of charging appliances are also available.

The sale started on Tuesday in the San Francisco headquarters. The auction house was not immediately able to respond to queries related to the latest auction.

Reportedly, the organisers of the auction said that the sale had nothing to do with Twitter's finances. Twitter also did not reveal the reason for the auction.

Earlier this month, the landlord of the Hartford Building -- Columbia Reit - 650 California LLC filed a lawsuit against Twitter because the company failed to pay rent for Twitter’s San Francisco office worth $136,260.

Reportedly, Jet Services Group LLC also sued Twitter because the social media company did not pay rent for two charter flights in October 2022 worth $197,725.

After taking over Twitter, Musk repeatedly made headlines. He also adopted major cost-cutting measures to save money. Twitter fired more than half of its global workforce, including janitors and cleaning staff. He also asked the remaining Twitter staff to give their best in order to build Twitter 2.0.

Musk currently owns six companies: Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink, Twitter and OpenAI. Reportedly, he also wants to buy Substack, an American online media platform.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
