"Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore," Musk wrote in the all-staff email. "This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade."

This is so fucking cringy.

So the opposition of chill. Like wtf is the big rush, are aliens invading and unless our social media is shoestring enough they'll obliterate us?

Can't believe this guy thinks he has anything meaningful to contribute to humanities future other than scaling up grind

It's the attitude of a rich and entitled loser who thinks they know what "hard work" means without ever engaging in it themselves. These morons use language like this to, in their mind, weed out the weak and lazy, but in reality it just sounds deranged and is a massive red flag to any employee with a functioning brain.

Is he willing to pay for those extra hours?

Many companies promote a work culture where heroic employees are supposed do long hours for free just because good employees are passionate about their job. That's just exploitation.

Surely the grand objective of, as he puts it:

build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world

means it's just as much worth it for him to pay overtime and/or hire more people as it is for others to "work long hours at high intensity"

Unless, of course, he was bullshitting and being an hypocrite.

Shouldn't it be an X 2.0? Did he just deadname his own company?

[-] xthexder@l.sw0.com 1 points 10 months ago

Musk said that in 2022 before he renamed Twitter.

Sounds like by his own grading scale he is a dismal failure not worth what his title gets paid.

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

I mean he renamed Twitter to X. It is assumed his actions will be cringy.

Coming from the guy who demanded tens of billions in bonuses from Tesla shareholders in order to 'stay motivated'.
