Twitter Gets First Hand Feel Of Elon Musk's Tesla Culture; Musk Bans Remote Work After Downsizing

Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk has banned remote work at Twitter in his first email to the staff since buying the company, the Financial Times reported.
Musk warned that the social media platform needs “intense work” in the office to turn round its fortunes in his first email to the staff since his $44 billion takeover of the social media platform.
Employees must be in the office for a minimum of 40 hours per week, except for those “physically unable to travel” or with “a critical personal obligation,” the email read.

Musk added that he would review and approve any exemptions, instructing managers to compile lists of staff seeking to continue remote working.
The new policy at Twitter matches Musk’s demands at Tesla, where in June, he insisted staff should turn up for work at least 40 hours a week in the office or find new employment.
Musk began slashing the company’s 7,500-strong workforce this week as he warned that the platform had experienced a “massive drop in revenue” since his takeover.
Musk has also asked staffers to work round the clock on new products, including a subscription charge for users to get access to a blue tick on their profile and features such as the edit button.
Twitter’s new office rules put it at odds with its social media rivals, whom all have flexible working in place.
