> Twitter stopped paying its rent in November and Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of the social media network, has told employees he does not intend to restart payments or cover past dues

What's his justification for not paying rent other than "I don't wanna"?

Potential future value, lack of political will power on the end of those orgs they would need to assist (does the Sheriff want a picture carrying a Twitter bro out of his cube, etc).

The landlord might think that there is a higher chance of Twitter eventually paying ( through lawsuit or good will) than finding another tenant, or something. Which might be true, but is still a shitty move.

Or, if the market value of Twitter approaches the unpaid bills, the landlord seizes Twitter and sells it off to settle the debt ...

Nothing, they have initiated legal action. They should chain the doors shut. If musk wants people to work from the office he Reilly should oughta pay the rent.
