“Remote work is no longer acceptable” and “it’s pretending to work”, says Elon Musk

“The home office is no longer acceptable,” says Elon Musk, director of Tesla. The richest man in the world reportedly sent an email to the executive team at the electric car factory with instructions that “anyone who wants to work remotely must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean *minimum*) of 40 hours a week. or leave Tesla. This is less than what we ask of factory workers.”

In the message, Musk specifies that the “office” should be Tesla’s main office, not a remote branch unrelated to functions, for example, being responsible for human relations at the Fremont plant, but having its office in another state. .

The email was posted on Twitter. Musk didn’t confirm that the message was true, but he didn’t deny it either. And when asked, “What would you say to people who think going to work is an old-fashioned concept?” Musk replied, “They should pretend they work somewhere else” — thus reaffirming his stance on telecommuting.

Elon Musk is known as a very strict boss, who installs security cameras to control Space Exploration Technologies Corp. employees. and does not allow queues at the coffee machine, as they impair productivity.

According to Keith Rabois, a Sillicon Valey entrepreneur who knows Elon Musk well, Twitter employees will have to prepare to “wake up” when he takes over the company:
