The online auction opens on January 17 and will close the following day, according to Heritage Global Partners (HGP), the company facilitating the sale. Starting bids for all items range from $25 to $50.
Following Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of Twitter, the billionaire owner enacted a series of cost-cutting measures. He fired about half of the company’s workforce, prompting a group of former employees to file a lawsuit, alleging that the mass layoffs involved multiple violations of labor rights.
“Twitter suffered a huge drop in revenue as activist groups put pressure on advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease activists,” Musk said in a statement. tweet on November 4.
But HGP Chairman Nick Dove said in an interview with fortune that anyone who thinks the auction is part of preserving finances is a “moron.”
“We don’t determine what assets a company doesn’t need,” Dove told . “Just like a real estate agent doesn’t determine what houses or buildings his client would need to sell.”
