“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.”
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:
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?
Sounds like by his own grading scale he is a dismal failure not worth what his title gets paid.
I mean he renamed Twitter to X. It is assumed his actions will be cringy.
