To increase productivity, Mr. Musk sent the same emails to employees at Tesla, SpaceX, and his other businesses. Additionally, it was published on Medium.
The following are the points Mr. Musk has made, according to the email screenshots that have gone viral:
- “Excessive meetings are the blight of big companies and almost always get worse over time.” He has also requested that the staff stop holding frequent meetings, “unless you are dealing with an extremely urgent matter”.
- Mr. Musk continued to emphasize in his next point that an employee has the option to “walk out or drop off a call” if they feel they cannot contribute effectively to a meeting. It is impolite to make someone stay and waste their time, he continued, not to leave.
- Additionally, the “Chief Twit” advised against using “acronyms or nonsense words for objects, software, or processes.” Anything that needs an explanation, he said, prevents conversation.
- The following idea elaborated on the significance of effective communication. Mr. Musk wrote in an email to staff, “Communication should travel via the shortest path necessary to get the job done, not through the chain of command.” He continued, “Any manager who attempts to enforce chain of command communication will soon find themselves working elsewhere.”
- Then, Mr. Musk urged the workers to “pick common sense as your guide.” According to him, a “company rule” should be changed if breaking it would result in a Dilbert cartoon.
A few weeks after seizing control of Twitter, Mr. Musk sent a message to the company’s employees informing them that they had until Thursday to decide whether they wanted to continue “working long hours at high intensity” or accept a three-month payoff as severance.
Mr. Musk informed Twitter staff that as of Thursday evening New York time, anyone who had not clicked on a link stating “you want to be part of the new Twitter” was deemed to have resigned.
