Elon Musk's decision not to pay Twitter's rent is causing pain for Goldman Sach's commercial real estate portfolio, the FT reported.
Goldman was part of a group that originated a $1.7 billion loan to Columbia Property, the owner of several of Twitter's offices.
That dwarfs the rise of commercial real estate delinquencies seen across the entire US banking industry, with bad commercial real estate loans rising just 30% nationwide, notching $12 billion over the first quarter.
But the jump in Goldman Sach's bad commercial property loans appears partly attributable to Twitter, which has not paid rent on its offices since November of last year.
It owed $136,260 on its office spaces as of December 2022, Columbia Property said in its suit.
