In addition to not paying rent and laying off workers, Elon Musk is also auctioning off high-end office furniture, kitchen equipment and other relics from the past, when Twitter had more than 7,500 full-time workers around the world.
according to Forbes.Musk defended his extreme cost cutting measures last month in a late night Twitter Spaces call.
“This company is like, basically, you’re in a plane that is headed towards the ground at high speed with the engines on fire and the controls don’t work,” Musk said in late December.
Some three-quarters of Twitter's employee base are expected to have left the company, either because they were laid off, fired or quit. Among the items Twitter is auctioning off are a pizza oven, 40-quart commercial kitchen floor mixer , high-end designer furniture such as Eames chairs from Herman Miller and Knoll Diamond chairs that retail in the thousands.
Even a Twitter bird statue and a neon Twitter bird light display are up for grabs in this fire sale-style auction reminiscent of the dot-com bust of the early 2000s, when failed tech startups were selling off decadent office wares.Natalie Neysa Alund covers trending news for USA TODAY.
