Valid question that can be expanded even further. Has Elon paid for… anything?! Last I heard, Google is still waiting on their payment for their cloud services. 😂
Wonder how much of them not just killing the servers is to avoid a monopoly lawsuit/perception.
I’d assume if they (Twitter) were a normal non-social advertising company they’d just cut them off and be done. Granted it’s hard to know how long they haven’t paid, but my guess is basically since Elon took over.
Apparently the parts of Twitter that run on Google Cloud are the parts dealing with safety. moderation, and anti-harassment. Musk loses nothing but Twitter becomes an even worse place than it currently is.

Apparently the contract is up at the end of the month. So google is meeting there end of the deal even if twitter is not meeting theirs.
Heh, if I’m Google I’m just calling it. They have nothing to lose, a single Twitter team is a drop in the bucket for them.

It’ll only be a week before they kill it again.

Or what if they combine into (Google+Twitter)•Reddit

“Won’t have to pay if I get rid of the block function. It’s not harassment if everyone’s being harassed!”
