Elon Musk has stopped paying for cleaning services at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, leaving the office reeking of body odor and fast food and requiring employees to supply their own toilet paper.
Musk, the second-richest man in the world, has initiated cost-cutting measures that have resulted in the firing of employees, including cleaning teams, and the closure or cessation of rent payments for the social media giant’s headquarters.
He allegedly stopped paying rent on Twitter’s Seattle office and is about to close one of the company’s New York operations. The San Francisco headquarters has been reduced from four levels to two, with odiferous offices that are no longer cleaned replacing opulent amenities.
On Christmas Eve, the billionaire dispatched his workers to a storage facility in Sacramento containing several vital servers – one of three – that had kept the social network operational.
According to the New York Times, some employees expressed concern that losing the servers could cause difficulties for the social media giant, but were informed that saving money was the priority.

The company’s restrooms have been neglected, and Musk is now focusing his energies on identifying the origins of press leaks.
He is also described as having a ‘erratic’ managerial style, since he focuses on eliminating those he perceives to be his opponents within the organization.
Staff members assert that he frequently interrupts meetings at random and speaks for extended periods, asking that senior leaders serve as sounding boards for his ideas.
As US revenue continues to decline, many staff anticipate future layoffs, despite Musk’s hiring of numerous new employees to replace those let go during the mass layoffs.
When he assumed control of the company in October, he was spotted with a bathroom sink, which some have subsequently deemed ironic because he instructed employees to carry their own toilet paper.
Musk stated that he will choose a new Twitter CEO after putting the decision to a vote on the social media network.
