Musk probably fired the guy in charge of paying rent

Simplest explanation, probably right.

That person was totally unproductive anyway. Just image, they barely wrote a single line of code!

Well, at least in the short term...

It's cool that HN just turns into baseless speculation around Elon now

I wouldn't call it baseless ...

Indubitably, this speculation is based.
