In a midnight email, Musk told the staff that if they wanted to stay, they needed to be a part of the new hardcore version of the service.
The tech billionaire told employees in an email that they would need to be extremely hardcore. This apparently means working long hours at high intensity and delivering an exceptional performance. The employees were told to sign a pledge if they wanted to be a part of the new company.
If you click on the link in the email, you will be taken to a website where you can sign up for the new account.
The company gave those who didn't like Musk three months to leave. Employees were given an extra hour to work by the chief twit. The pledge will be signed on Thursday.
CNN and Gergely Orosz, author of the Pragmatic Engineer newsletter on Substack, both posted a copy of the email on their respective websites.
Gizmodo tried to get confirmation on Wednesday, but did not hear back. The communications department is no longer in use.
Since taking ownership of the company, Musk has cut the workforce in half, and he seems to be focused on getting rid of anyone who disagrees with him. On Tuesday, the owner of the social media site fired employees who were posting shit about him in a chat room.
Musk made fun of the employees who shared that they had been fired on social media.
I want to apologize for firing these people. He wrote that their talent will be used elsewhere.
Musk quashed rebellion on a number of days. On Thursday, Musk fired Eric Frohnhoefer, a software engineer who had been at the company for more than eight years. Frohnhoefer disagreed with Musk about why the social network was slow. Even though it had spread far and wide by that time, Musk deleted the account where he said Frohnhoefer was fired.
The newsletter author said that the software engineers at the company were happy to receive Musk's midnight email giving them the choice to leave.
Orosz said that this made it easy for many to leave. It won't be easy for those on visas tied to employment.
