Yes, the business he bought (with not only his money) has been sued and evicted. The only time Musk has personally ever been on the hook was when he tried to wriggle out of buying said business, and the business sued him personally. Otherwise, he can walk away consequence-free from everything else.
That's literally part of the problem. He hadn't paid interest on the loan he took out to buy Twitter.
But also, he was CEO when these things all happened. He is the one who made the decisions not to make payments toward rent on two of his offices, toward his loan, or toward his consulting firm. I'm not sure what sort of mental gymnastics you're doing to say that he isn't responsible for these things. Twitter wasn't having those problems pre-Musk, and is only having these problems as a direct result of Musk's decision-making. That's kinda part of what being a CEO entails.
Not sure why one would ask for citations and then dismiss them.
They aren't saying he pays his bills, they're saying there are effectively no consequences for him personally every time he does it. He's not the one footing the bill for these Xitter lawsuits, it's his company.
Yes, but he's also the sole owner of the company. They went private after the acquisition, so there are no more shareholders. It's his company now, so he is the one directly responsible for it at this point.
If you're the sole owner of a taco truck and you crash into an orphanage with it, you are responsible, not the LLC you registered.
LLC literally means Limited Liability Company.
The owners of the LLC are protected from some or all liability for acts and debts of the LLC, depending on state shield laws.
When it comes into crashing into an orphanage, that's definitely some and not all.
