A bunch of entitled and hygiene-challenged iron-man brogrammers sleeping under their desks on eternal crunch time will work really well in combination with this other result of Musk’s “genius”.
4D chess never smelled so pungent.

Apologies if zoning laws were mentioned already, but “San Francisco building inspectors are launching an investigation into reports Twitter has converted several office rooms at its headquarters into sleeping quarters” LOL https://twitter.com/TedrickG/status/1600234830360240128

Elon could maybe get away with that in San Jose
or Texas …

He defends it, and fails to recognize he caused it. There’s no reason programmers should have to sleep in the offices, except Musk seems to think what he CHOSE to do as a young man when he was creating his first websites is what EVERY programmer should be doing all the time. It’s a sickness, a vile joke that makes work the center of your being.
He fires programmers, demands the rest work 80 or more hours a week, and as compensation illegally turns conference rooms into bed rooms. These court cases can’t come fast enough to stop him from the damage he’s causing thousands of workers.

What’s next, the in-house TwitterMart company store that accepts MuskBucks? If employees don’t need to go out and buy food or clothing they can spend the time they save working!

And instead of dollars, they’re compensated by getting a blue check.

Or a grey check. I can’t remember which is which now, it all sounds way more needlessly complicated.

Did Elon learn this from China or teach it to them?
Hey monkey boy - you wouldn’t feel the need to do this is you hadn’t fired all those workers. Great leadership!
You can’t possibly think these chumps can provide quality work under these circumstances. The mistakes will grow exponentially.

Hey, if stress, exhaustion, terror and not quite knowing what you’re doing aren’t perfect motivators for workers, it wouldn’t be the way doctors are trained, right?

It’s a perfect motivation to try and screw over your oppressor, sure.

Why have a company clothing store when he can just issue unisex jumpsuits to his henchmen? I mean, “employees”
Give him time, he will get there

Musk: “Burnout isn’t real. After all, I work 120 hours a week, and I’m still functioning at peak efficiency and making smart, flawless decisions.”

Everyone in a startup that does this dreams of the day they’ll be able to afford never doing it again. Anyone who volunteers to do it as part of their normal job is not that bright, no matter how skilled they may be.

Apparently most of the people who stuck around, only did so because they get their visa through Twitter.
He’s about 3/4 of the way to Qatar’s labor system here.

He sleeps next to a table holding multiple firearms AND enough diet caffeine-free Coke to choke a horse. “Flawless”. Sure.
