Elon Musk Turns Several Rooms At Twitter Headquarters Into Bedrooms For Employees

The world’s richest person and Twitter's new boss, Elon Musk, has converted several rooms in the Twitter office into small sleeping quarters for employees at the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, according to a report by Forbes.

The sleeping quarters have unmade mattresses, drab curtains and giant conference-room telepresence monitors. One room also has bright orange carpeting, a wooden bedside table, a queen bed, and two office armchairs.

According to Forbes, beds are for "hardcore" staffers who can stay and work overnight at the office. Reportedly, there are around four to eight-bedroom pods per floor.

In November, Musk gave hundreds of Twitter employees an ultimatum that they work "long hours at high intensity" or leave the office. He reportedly fired at least half of Twitter's employees, and several other workers left because of the hardcore work culture.

Reportedly, ever since Musk took over Twitter last month, he fired about 50 per cent of the Twitter staff, including the top executives, scrapped a work-from-home policy, which was introduced in 2020, and imposed longer working hours.

In November, he also held an all-hands meeting with staff to talk about various issues related to work. He asked them to work 40 hours in the office. The tech billionaire also told employees to brace for 80-hour weeks.

Earlier this year, Musk made a bid to buy the social media giant for $44 billion. However, he backed out from the deal in May, alleging that the social media company understated the number of bot and spam accounts on the platform. Subsequently, a series of lawsuits started between Musk and Twitter. After months of speculation, Musk said he would proceed with the Twitter deal on the original terms. He purchased the social media giant for $44 billion ($54.20 a share) in October.

He has always been in the limelight over his Tweets.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
