Elon Musk says only “exceptional” people may work remotely: November 10, 2022
Musk addressed remote work in his first meeting with Twitter staff shortly after the acquisition. At the meeting, he said remote work was the exception, not the rule.
“Now, if somebody’s contribution is so significant that they can overcome the communication difficulties of being remote, then they should absolutely remain at Twitter. But it will be a higher bar. They have to be that much better to overcome the communication issues of being remote. There are plenty of people at Tesla and SpaceX that do work remotely, but it is on an exception basis for exceptional people,” Musk said at the meeting, according to reporting by the Verge.
Once again, the Twitter CEO said that people who did not want to work in the office should leave. “Basically, if you can show up in an office and you do not show up at the office, resignation accepted. End of story,” Musk said.
