Elon Musk is already facing hardships trying to resuscitate Twitter and make it financially viable. Since he purchased the platform in October 2022, he has been facing a lot of hurdles.

An affiliate at 1330 Broadway has sued the company for $1.3 million for paying the rent of his Oakland office since November 2022. Now, an Australian project management company has sued Twitter for not paying the outstanding dues.
