Elon Musk warns Twitter employees of ‘difficult times ahead,' ends remote work: report

Hours after Twitter CEO Elon Musk admittedly predicted he will do "lots of dumb things" as he learns to helm the new social media platform, he told his employees to brace for "difficult times ahead," according to a report.

In a mass email Wednesday afternoon, Musk said there was "no way to sugarcoat the message" and that employees should expect changes concerning office policy, according to Bloomberg News.  

The email allegedly said Musk will discontinue remote work and will be requiring employees to be in the office for at least 40 hours per week. Any exceptions would need his personal approval.

Musk reportedly said he expected half of Twitter’s revenue to come through a subscription service and his newly proposed verification fee. He also said content creators will be able to monetize their pages to supporters, without further elaboration.
