Twitter puts much of its headquarters furniture up for sale

The technological company Twitter has put up for sale in an auction house a large part of the furniture of its San Francisco headquarters, including not only computers, tables and chairs, but also coffee machines, pizza ovens, beer coolers, projectors and dozens of other articles.

The Heritage Global Partners house will be in charge of conducting this auction of 631 lots, according to what can be read on its website, and the bids opened yesterday and will close at 10 in the morning today, San Francisco time (where the headquarters).

Particularly “corporate” items are included in the auction, such as a statue of the Twitter bird, which is already fetching $20,500, and a huge neon with the same bright logo, which has already fetched $22,500.

Although what is most abundant are chairs, tables, monitors, and desk furniture, there are also stationary bikes to practice gymnastics, boxes of KN95 masks, and a good number of industrial-size coffee makers, ovens, and refrigerators.

This massive sale of artifacts seems to indicate a new effort to alleviate Twitter’s losses at a time when the company has lost much of its advertisers to Elon Musk’s tumultuous purchase of the company, which has resulted in a series of lurches on the network content policy.

According to Forbes, the businessman would have lost around 182,000 million dollars since November 2021 -which has made him break a world record for losses-; That same November, he came to write in a tweet that Twitter was asking for 4 million dollars a day.
