Elon is a disruptor. Nobody else has ever thought to build a successful business model based upon stiffing all your vendors and contractors. Everyone else will have to scramble to catch up, allowing him to establish dominance in this bold new paradigm.
"Let them sue" only works if you're the big guy. Amazon web services is owed money, and I have a hunch that Amazon can afford attorneys. Just a hunch though.
He absolutely has no fear of lawsuits from vendors. He is terrified of his backers, the bonesaw lovin' Saudis. Not paying bills is SOP in a lot of cultures. Especially ones that have huge amounts of concentrated wealth in the hands of ignorant jerks.

Even easier- Amazon advertises on Twitter. They stopped payment for the ads Twitter had already run.
Companies are going to have to call Elmo's bluff, and not in court. Have AWS simply turn off the servers Twitter is renting. The landlords need to change the locks on the buildings. Yeah, the commercial real estate market is bad, but it's got to be better than paying $1k/hour lawyers to try and get him to cough up
Glockenspiel Hero:Have AWS simply turn off the servers Twitter is renting.
I've been trying to grok the internals of Twitter by reading all the complaints from fired employees, but it sounded (and I could be wrong) like the base infrastructure for Twitter was co-located data centers with their own hardware, one or two of which Musk already shut down. AWS services are probably for analytics and secondary services, which Musk is trying to kill.
Long story short, I don't know that Musk would care if AWS turned their shiat off. But AWS should anyway.

He is TFG. Just like George Santos is TFG. Ever had a job where they had to hire two people to replace you when you left?

So he's "Trumping" it? I mean, at least in terms of his business practices?

Yeah, now that the dumb fark opened his mouth, the vendors are going to be far less understanding.

Not a very sustainable business model, though.
