And on the sixth day, he did not rest.
On Thursday, his sixth day of owning Twitter, Elon axed a holiday from Twitter’s company calendar: the “Day of Rest.” Twitter had introduced the holiday in 2020 to combat burnout, a concern Musk doesn’t share. Reports from within Twitter say he’s been asking employees to work 85 hour weeks to ship new products as soon as possible, with at least one employee electing to roll out a sleeping bag on the office floor.
Esther Crawford, the employee in the sleeping bag, wrote, “When your team is pushing round the clock to make deadlines sometimes you #SleepWhereYouWork.” Another Twitter employee going by Evan captioned the picture of the silver sleeping bag, “When you need something from your boss at elon twitter.”
