The City of San Francisco. Who knows how many building codes and planning codes he violated putting that sign up without permits. If he’d wanted to keep pushing it, they probably could have yanked the occupancy permit.

Jack Dorsey still owned a chunk of Twitter.
In October 2022, Dorsey retained his 2.4% ownership of Twitter when the company was sold to Elon Musk .[65]

They own $7.1 billion in debt that Musk owes them.
ETA: Musk transferred the debt to Twitter, so X Corp. rather than Musk personally is now holding the bag.
Crown Prince Bonesaw: “Bring Musk here so I can saw his fucking legs off.”
Assistant : “Sorry, the corporation owns the debt, Not Musk.”
CPB: “Grrrrrrr! Foiled by Musk’s cunning genius!”

CPB and Assistant: “HA HA HA HA HA!”

Good - I hope he loses each and every penny. Dorsey has been using his money to back Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Sandbags?
Yup. Sandbags . Hope the company that built the thing, set it up and took it down got paid in advance for that idiocy.
