Yes Musk has a very long record of not paying people until they eventually sue him. This isn't a new thing, this has been a kind of lifelong thing of Musk's.

Salomone was persuaded by a video deposition of Joseph Killian, a former Twitter executive, who testified that Twitter stopped paying rent in December 2022 as a “renegotiating tactic — a tactic to save money.”

This has literally been Musk his entire life.

    I had this happen with a Fox News host that lives near us. We rented out a piece of equipment to them they needed and they wouldn't pay until we threatened to sue. They eventually did this to everyone, so even if you figured out which host, you wouldn't know who I am.
