“Pretend To Work Somewhere Else”: Elon Musk Says All Tesla Employees Must Return To The Office | ZeroHedge
This is less than [what] we ask of factory workers, Musk added, possibly in a nod to the company’s Shanhai factory, which had Chinese staff building cars during 12 hour shifts and sleeping on factory floors due to Covid lockdowns.
“If there are particularly exceptional contributors for whom this is impossible, I will review and approve those exceptions directly,” Musk wrote. “Moreover, the ‘office’ must be a main Tesla office, not a remote branch office unrelated to the job duties…”
Musk got some pushback for his comments (what else is new?) on Twitter this week, with some users arguing that Tesla could wind up losing too many of its staff as a result of the forced requirement.

This is what I’ve heard about working for Elon. Very different from working for Zuck. My niece works for face, uh, Meta, and she travels the West, climbing mountains and rafting rivers, logging in from remote places to solve data science problems. She’s working hard, being productive, but she’s being so while not under constant Elon surveillance. But I’m sure most people are not much like her. She is a freak, in the good sense. Most people are not, even rocket scientists.
