Elon Musk has once again unleashed his vision, to say the least. Overnight, the Tesla owner turned entire swaths of offices at Twitter’s headquarters into employee dormitories, Forbes reported Monday (December 5).
It was when they arrived at the social network’s facilities, earlier in the week, that employees were surprised to discover the appearance of wooden beds, lamps or even nightstands in their workplace. According to the American media, there would be between 4 and 8 rooms per floor, which estimates that through this gesture, Elon Musk wanted to show his support for employees who work so much that they are ready to sleep in the office.
According to Forbes, no announcement or context has been provided to employees who assume these beds are for staff retained after Elon Musk’s ultimatum to spend the night in the office for more work. In fact, last month, Elon Musk gave the thousands of employees who remained at the company the choice to leave or stay, as long as they worked hard under Twitter’s new strategy. Since he became owner and CEO, Musk has fired at least half of Twitter’s employees and others have left on his own.
Open investigation to verify the usefulness of the building
However, Elon Musk cannot transform professional offices into true bedrooms as he wishes. The Twitter headquarters building in San Francisco is not designed for this purpose. Why the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said it was launching an investigation to determine the legality of Twitter renovations at its facility, reads a tweet posted Tuesday (Dec. 6) by Ted Goldberg, a senior KQED official. -FM, San Francisco public radio station.
“We need to make sure the building is used as intended,” a representative from the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection told KQED. Elon Musk has previously claimed to have slept on company property before. In 2018, he previously tweeted about “sleeping at the factory,” referring to a Tesla factory near Fremont, California.
