Musk told Twitter employees Wednesday that he was reversing the company’s previous “work from home forever” policy, which had been enacted by his personal friend and collaborator, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
Here’s the e-mail from Musk to Twitter employees Friday, transcribed by CNBC:
From: Elon Musk
Date: Nov. 11, 2022 [time stamp removed]
To: Team at Twitter
Subj. Being There (great movie)
I was at Twitter HQ again until late into the night yesterday and would like to extend a note of appreciation to those who were there with me, as well as those working remotely, some of whom had been up even longer.
To reaffirm, working remotely is fine if you cannot reasonably make it to the office and you are performing at an exceptional level. That said, I am a big believer in the esprit de corps and effectiveness of being physically in the same location.
I will be in the office again today. Stop by the 10th floor if you’d like to talk about taking Twitter to the next level. The priority is near-term actions.
