Elon Musk's old email on remote work being unacceptable goes viral
India TodayOld emails from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, dismissing remote work as “unacceptable” have gone viral on social media. The emails, shared by X user Chris Hladczuk in a post, included two letters Musk addressed to Tesla’s executive staff in May 2022, where he described remote work as a 'threat' to productivity. What the emails said: In the first email dated May 31, 2022, Musk wrote: “Anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla. So I essentially, even though I was in an office, was working remotely 100 per cent of the time.” See the comments here: While several users view Elon Musk’s stance on remote work as outdated in a world moving forward toward flexibility, others see it as necessary for fostering collaboration and accountability.
