Elon Musk’s order that Tesla workers return to the office has sparked a Twitter spat with Australian billionaire Scott Farquhar, after the Atlassian CEO suggested he would be happy to poach Musk’s staff for remote working positions. In a memo sent to staff, headlined “Remote work is no longer acceptble” [sic], the Tesla CEO wrote that “anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean *minimum*) of 40 hours a week or depart Tesla. Yes, right now it’s not perfect, but we have to experiment to get it right,” he tweeted. “In the past year alone, 42% of our new hires globally live 2 or more hours from an office. Musk suggested Twitter’s San Francisco office could be turned into a “homeless shelter since no one shows up anyway”.
