What Elon Musk told Twitter employees about layoffs, coming to office and more

There still might be severe doubts about whether his takeover of Twitter will happen or not but that hasn’t stopped Elon Musk sharing his plans for the social media platform. In a recent interview with Recode, Musk addressed Twitter employees in a Q&A session. The Tesla CEO took questions previously submitted by Twitter employees where they’d asked him about his stand on remote work, how he plans to handle the company after taking over and if he has any plans for layoffs.
On his stand on remote work, Musk reiterated what he has said earlier, and added that maybe software and design roles at Tesla can be managed remotely but to avail it, people in those roles should be exceptional at their job, so that it is possible for them to be effective when they are working remotely. As for the other departments, especially the ones that involve work that cannot be done remotely like bringing in the car parts, assembling the car and then transporting it to the owner, remote work is not something to be considered. And even when someone is working remotely, they have to show up at the office “occasionally”.
