Elon Musk should be asking, can ZFS protect against evictions?

So I don't understand this. I should preface this by saying that I don't use Twitter, don't have a Twitter account, and the extent of my interaction with Twitter is having set up a bot account for some Node.js programming examples I did maybe a decade ago. I was on their site for maybe 5 minutes.

Twitter evicted from office amid lawsuits over unpaid rent and cleaning bills

Twitter evicted in Boulder, Colo., still faces unpaid-rent suit at HQ in California.

I'm trying to figure out what the scam is. I feel like Elon's full of scams, from FSD to Starlink to Powerwall to Hyperloop... but I can't quite figure out how one of the richest people in the world can spend $44 billion dollars and then just torch huge amounts of talent and staff.

But then it came to me. Maybe he's storing it all on ZFS and wanted to test how resilient the replication features are! If you set up a server in each office location, you can then replicate stuff out to all the offices, and as you get evicted for nonpayment from each one, you can find out just how resilient ZFS is...

It just seems crazy.

He had scanned copies of receipts for all the payments, but accidentally deleted them, and thus has no proof of payment.

But they can still be retrieved from earlier snapshots! ZFS, baby!

Elon! Just check inside the hidden ".zfs/snapshot" directory! You still have time.

No, he sent a Tesla with FSD over with a check on the seat to pay the rent, but it got caught up in a traffic jam caused by fossil fuel advocates, someone broke the rear window, and then threw a Molotov in there before letting it continue on its way. They tried to tweet out several pictures of the flaming car moving away down the road but kept getting 500 server failed messages because the landlord had barricaded the office doors, effectively locking out the staff. The one remaining sorry sap who was on call from remote found his broadband Internet out when the Tesla crashed into a junction box, and of course his Starlink was still on forever backorder, so.... Twitter's down.

What a crazy world we live in.

I don't get it.. Elon want's worker back in the office.. but he's not willing to pay the bills for the offices!

$44 billion dollars

my understand is that part of the problem is his offer to buy was not in good faith, being that he only wanted some kind of documents, or something about inner twitter details, but that getting to those took him far enough into the process that he was required to continue the buy if there were no other offers.

being forced to spend 44 bil because you didn't RTFM is not indicative of good business decisions.....
