In a companywide email sent out around midnight San Francisco time Wednesday, Elon Musk asked Twitter employees to either, commit to working “long hours at high intensity” to accomplish his vision of building Twitter 2.0, or resign with “three months of severance.” The company's mostly woke staff were notoriously used to unproductive laissez-faire working environment under previous management.
Here is a text of the email sent to employees
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 l 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.

Musk has been busy cleaning house since taking over the social media company. He fired several executives and laid off half of Twitter’s full-time employees, and slashed the number of contractors working with the company globally.
The Chief Twit fired several woke and insubordinate employees this week, after they slammed him in public, and in the company’s internal Slack channels. Some of them took to Twitter to cry victim!
Replying to a tweet by tech investor Paul Graham, who asked why harsh critics of the new Twitter owner think that someone who runs SpaceX and Tesla is "not up to managing a social media network," Musk tweeted: "People have no idea how fast Twitter will evolve."
