It is now widely known that Elon Musk expects above-average commitment from his employees. Now the Twitter boss is said to have converted the headquarters into a kind of hotel – photos show beds, wardrobes and even a washing machine.
beds in the office? No problem for Twitter boss Elon Musk. He is said to have created real hotel rooms in the headquarters in San Francisco. BBC reporter James Clayton shared several photos and videos on Thursday night that are said to have been made available to him by employees of the group.
In addition to beds, you can see sofas that have been converted into sofa beds, a wardrobe and even a washing machine and slippers.
City investigates legality – Musk launches retaliation
As the “San Francisco Chronicle” reported on Tuesday, the city of San Francisco is currently investigating whether the beds were set up lawfully – it probably did not have an application for this.
In typical Musk fashion, the Twitter boss quickly turned the tables and launched a retaliation on his platform: “The city of San Francisco is attacking companies for making beds for its weary employees instead of making sure that children are safe from fentanyl overdoses,” he writes, citing an article about a child who died from an overdose of the drug. Finally, he links to San Francisco Mayor London Breed and asks, “What are your priorities?”
Overtime is now a requirement for success on Twitter
To what extent the beds are intended for “tired employees” can only be speculated on. In any case, Musk is said to have recently written an email to his employees in which he explained to them that he expects “hard work” and overtime – loosely according to the motto “Go hard or go home”. You would have to be “extremely hardcore” to be successful in the corporation.
California Senator Scott Wiener was appalled by the beds at Twitter headquarters. He told the BBC: “It’s obvious he doesn’t really care about people. He doesn’t care about the people who work for him.”
