According to court records, an Australian project management firm has filed a lawsuit against Twitter Inc in a U.S. court, seeking cumulative payments of around Ksh.93 million (A$1 million, $665,000) for claimed non-payment of invoices for work done in four countries.
On June 29, a private firm based in Sydney, Facilitate Corp, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging a breach of contract due to Twitter's inability to pay its invoices.

The Australian firm's lawsuit is the latest to accuse Twitter of non-payment of bills and rent after Elon Musk purchased the social media platform for $44 billion last year.
From 2022 to early 2023, Facilitate said it put sensors at Twitter's offices in London and Dublin, finished an office fit-out in Singapore, and cleared an office in Sydney.
According to Facilitate, Twitter owed the company approximately 203,000 pounds, S$546,600, and A$61,300 for those services.
Twitter, formerly known as X Corp, no longer has a media relations department. Reuters was unable to reach Twitter's Australia office immediately.
Facilitate stated that it will seek compensatory damages in an amount to be established at trial, as well as legal expenses and interest at the maximum legal rate.
In May, a former public relations agency filed a lawsuit in New York state court alleging that Twitter had not paid its costs, while earlier this year, U.S.-based advisory firm Innisfree M&A Inc sued it, claiming $1.9 million in unpaid bills after advising Twitter on its acquisition by Musk.
