Elon Musk Issues Ultimatum To Tesla Executives: “Anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for minimum of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla
Elon Musk issued an ultimatum to Tesla executives telling them the party is over and it’s time to get back to work in the office. Musk is a hard worker who demands the same from his team. He wrote in an email to Tesla Execs:
“Anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean a minimum) of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla. This is less than we ask factory workers. If there are particularly exceptionable contributors for whom this is impossible I will review and approve those exceptions directly.
“Moreover the office must be a main Tesla office not a remote branch office unrelated to the job duties, for example being responsible for the Fremont factory human relations but having your office in another state.”
When a Twitter user asked:” Hey Elon a lot of people are talking about this leaked email, any additional comment to people who think coming into work is an antiquated concept?”
Elon Musk responded:
They should pretend to work somewhere else

“They should pretend to work somewhere else.”
He also responded to a report claiming that Deutsche Bank was raided by authorities over ESG ‘greenwashing’ claims: ‘We’ve found evidence that that could support allegations of prospectus fraud’
Musk said:
“I have yet to see an ESG list that *isn’t* fraudulent.”
From Fortune:
German law enforcement officials raided the offices of Deutsche Bank on suspicion of the fraudulent advertising of sustainable investment funds at its DWS unit, dealing yet another setback to CEO Christian Sewing’s attempts to move on from years of corruption scandals.
The investigation revolves around allegations—leveled by a former DWS manager—that the retail money management business engaged in “greenwashing,” in which environmental, social and governance (ESG) investments are sold under false claims.
Roughly 50 officials from the Frankfurt public prosecutor, German securities regulator BaFin, and the federal criminal police office BKA were deployed to the headquarters of the two financial institutions to seize evidence on Tuesday.
“The allegations are that DWS has been advertising so-called ESG financial products for sale as being particularly green and sustainable when they actually weren’t,” a spokesman for the public prosecutor told Fortune, which has been looking into the claims since January.
“In the course of our investigations we’ve found evidence that could support allegations of prospectus fraud.”
