Elon Musk formed a "transition team" at Twitter tasked with cutting costs, and they often refused to pay vendors' bills.
  • Elon Musk told staff "let them sue" in response to complaints from Twitter vendors over unpaid bills, the FT reports.
  • Musk has sought to aggressively cut costs since taking over Twitter in October 2022.
  • Various lawsuits have been filed against Twitter claiming more than $14 million over unpaid bills. 

Elon Musk has repeatedly said "let them sue," as unpaid bills for Twitter's vendors have piled up since his takeover, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing a former senior employee.
