Taiwanese server dealer Wiwynn is suing X for at least $61 million of unpaid IT infrastructure products, alleging Breach of Contract, Promissory Estoppel, and Breach of the Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. Then, according to The Register, the plaintiff amended its complaint, adding Intentional Misrepresentation and Negligent Misrepresentation to its case.
The story behind the case is that pre-Musk, Twitter contracted the company Wiwynn to deliver “unique, custom-designed IT infrastructure products, including rack solutions.” However, since these were bespoke items, the company had to order their components way in advance. According to the complaint, “The components used to build the products are largely unique to the products, resulting in long lead times for ordering such component parts from suppliers,” and Twitter must give “written approval for Wiwynn to purchase the necessary components to manufacture the customer products…and expressly assumed liabilities for the procurement costs.”
