Elon Musk's Twitter is hosting an online garage sale for all its office junk
Have you ever wanted to buy 68 Belkin power strips that once belonged to Twitter? Well, first, I'd say you have some pretty specific tastes, but guess what? You are in luck.
Twitter, under the sterling leadership of maverick/boygenius Elon Musk, is selling off assets from its San Francisco headquarters. It's a wild collection of weird, mundane objects, including that large stack of power strips.
At the time of this writing, there were just a few hours left on the online auction from Heritage Global Partners, so peruse and get your bids in while you're still able. The range of things to buy was pretty interesting, considering tech giants long made it a point to have offices well stocked with food, booze, coffee, and fancy furniture. There's the neon Twitter bird with a current bid past $35,000. There's six fake leather chairs somehow getting a $1,000 bid. An @ sculpture for $12,000. A single Eames chair for $1,400. Or, a personal favorite, the industrial food smoker for $700.

The sale comes amid financial woes for Twitter, which has struggled under Musk's unpredictable leadership. The company reportedly has a massive interest bill coming due, which might explain the slew of cost-cutting measures employed by Musk, including this garage sale of sorts, firing half the staff, and apparently straight-up refusing to pay rent.

The bids on these used Twitter items do seem pretty ridiculous thus far — in some cases, people are paying more for used items than they would cost new. So perhaps this is a big step forward for Musk in his bid to keep his new toy afloat. If you want to contribute, go ahead and bid. And if anyone wants to buy me a smoker... I'm all ears.
