If they don't work at an extremely hardcore rate, they will be fired. The email was sent at midnight Pacific time on Wednesday.
Employees need to be extremely hardcore to build a "breakthrough" and are expected to work long hours at high intensity, according to an email from the self-proclaimed "chief twit".
The world's richest man said in an email that employees who don't sign up for "the new Twitter" by Thursday will get three months of unemployment.
"I don't know what this means for non-technical roles," said the employee. They said that they had been saying from the beginning that this was how it should have been handled. It's still sad to leave The majority of us are doing it to get away from him. It's not the work.
Musk fired an engineer after he got into a fight with the platform's owner. Free lunches for employees were costing the company $400 per meal, and that's according to the founder.
The New York Times reported that the CEO ordered his team to fire any insubordinate employees who spoke out on the internal platform.

Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.
Twitter will also be much more engineering-driven. Design and product management will still be very important and report to me, but those writing great code will constitute the majority of our team and have the greatest sway. At its heart, Twitter is a software and servers company, so I think this makes sense.

Anyone who has not done so by 5pm ET tomorrow (Thursday) will receive three months of severance.
Whatever decision you make, thank you for your efforts to make Twitter successful.
