Elon Musk: The new owner of Twitter turns the company’s headquarters into a “hotel” for employees

The San Francisco Building Inspection Department confirmed it was investigating possible violations after receiving a complaint.

Musk said the city is attacking companies because they provide beds for “tired employees.”

Musk posted a now-deleted tweet saying he would work and sleep in the office “until the organization is fixed.”

The BBC has also obtained pictures of sofas at Twitter’s headquarters that are used as beds.

The pictures also showed another meeting room with an alarm clock and a picture placed on a prepared bed.

“It’s like a hotel room,” said a former worker. Employees said Musk sleeps regularly at Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco.

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the BBC.

Over the past month, Musk – who completed his acquisition of Twitter in October – sent an email to all employees at the company saying they had to work “long hours at high intensity”.

“Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing score,” he wrote.

“Now he’s making them,” Scott Weiner, a California senator, told the BBC on Wednesday [العمال] They sleep at Twitter headquarters.

“It’s clear he doesn’t really care about people. He doesn’t care about the people who work for him.”

“We need to make sure that the building is being used for its intended purpose,” a Building Inspection Department official told CBS News.

Responding to a reporter on Twitter, Musk said the city should prioritize protecting children from the consequences of opioid abuse.

Forbes published the story “Sadly Small Conference Room Sleeps at Recently Evicted Corporate Headquarters,” noting that it was a definite improvement over the photos of sleeping bags on the floor that one employee posted on Twitter.

And Bloomberg reported that there are reports indicating that the bedrooms also accommodate employees from Tesla and other companies owned by Musk who were brought to work at Twitter. “Some of them travel to Twitter for business meetings,” sources told Bloomberg.

Patrick Hannan, an official with the Department of Building Inspection, told the San Francisco Chronicle that the department investigated all complaints, noting that there are different rules for apartment buildings, even those used for short stays.

And in May 2020, before Musk’s acquisition of the company, Twitter told its employees they could work from home “forever” if they wanted to, because remote work measures during coronavirus lockdowns had been working.

Musk said last month that remote work would end.
