Elon Musk takes on the fake Caligula air. After all, with the paranoid Roman emperor, the Twitter boss would be increasingly criticized internally, as his anger reverberates through San Francisco locals.
Known for his explosive temper, the billionaire is said to be increasingly stressed, according to internal testimony obtained by Business Insider. Some employees have already known this in this state, in 2018 at Tesla, when the manufacturer failed to go bankrupt. This time, “it’s worse,” testified those who knew the two companies.

Struggling with a social network he no longer wanted, Musk spends many nights at corporate headquarters and expects his employees to do the same. 80-hour weeks, sleepless nights, and impromptu orders from the boss are the day-to-day of many engineers.
Above all, his anger is feared, in a country where dismissal is very easy. A senior engineer also paid the price last week after questioning Musk’s popularity on his own social network.
“He’s gone completely crazy,” says an anonymous employee. For Musk, the question of his team’s loyalty seems to have become an obsession. “Employees are fired at the slightest suspicion of political or personal dissent,” says Business Insider.
How?
In the offices, the boss asks his employees about the progress of their work. “You have to figure out how to answer the question so you don’t get fired,” one employee slips.
Above all, Elon Musk seems to be sailing on sight. Obsessed with profitability, he would have put on the table a series of heterogeneous proposals, such as a mandatory subscription or the closure of Twitter outside the United States and Japan.
Options that ultimately were not maintained but that add confusion to the pattern of the social network.
