Twitter has refused to pay its Google Cloud bills as its contract comes up for renewal this month, which could result in the social media company's trust and safety teams being crippled, Platformer reported on Saturday.
Musk ordered the company to cut infrastructure costs, such as spending on cloud services, by $1 billion, a source had told Reuters in November.
At some point all these numbers seem like magic space money. Not that that’s what they spend, but that’s what they could reasonably (for whoever’s definition thereof) cut?
Sometimes there are inefficiencies. Sometimes you can cut features. But it’s a process that takes time, and has repercussions, and limits. The 1$ Billion mark could come from extensive evaluation of the current infrastructure, but it comes from Elon’s vibes and massive incurred debt from the leveraged acquisition.
Elon thinks that he can use office space and not pay for it. He is delusional. And he knows less about cloud services and code than he knows about leases.
Twitter is still online because providers can’t believe THE AUDACITY, and are hopping they will get paid. Let’s see how long they can justify the hole in the books and keep subsidizing Musk’s House of Hate Speech.
