Musk’s Management Style Takes Shape

Elon Musk warns Twitter employees of “difficult times ahead” and issues stern warning via email to stop remote work and get into the office.

Key Details

  • Elon Musk sent a company wide email to all of Twitter’s employees warning them of tough times ahead and outlined changes he is making to the company.
  • Musk told employees that he was stopping remote work and anyone who needed to work from home must get approval directly from him.
  • These changes are some added to the long list of previous changes he has made since acquiring the social-media platform.

Why it’s news

It has been two weeks since Elon Musk completed the $44-billion deal to buy Twitter and became the sole director of the company.

In the two weeks he has made an extensive list of changes including firing top executives including the entire Twitter board and 50% of the remaining workforce.

The latest changes were outlined in a company wide email he sent to employees this week. In the email he said he was officially banning remote work unless it was approved by him personally. 

All employees must be in the office and work at least 40 hours per week—effective immediately.

He also warned employees of “difficult times ahead” discussing the economic outlook of the company. SInce his acquisition he has had many bumps in the road including losing advertisers in turn losing a large amount of money.

A previous change he made was charging $8 per month for users who want to be verified on the platform which caused a bit of turmoil amongst celebrities. In the email he said he wanted to see these subscriptions be half of Twitter’s total revenue.

These last two weeks have been filled with many changes and it is likely many more will be in the weeks ahead.

“The road ahead is arduous and will require intense work to succeed,” He wrote in the email.

The U.S. Senate has announced hearings for committees to analyze the debt-ceiling bill passed by the Republican-led House last week. 

Key Details

  • Though the White House has stood firm in its refusal to negotiate the debt-ceiling terms with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the House passed a bill last week to jumpstart negotiations. 
  • Senate Majority Leader Chuch Schumer (D-NY) announced Monday that Senate committees would evaluate the recently passed bill.
  • While McCarthy’s bill attempts to bring President Joe Biden to the table, the bill is unlikely to pass in the Senate. 
  •  "The president says, 'I'm not going to talk to him until he offers a plan,’" McCarthy says. "Not only did we offer a plan, we passed it.”

The owner of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury is striking out on his own—shifting away from traditional broadcasting deals. 

Key Details

  • The bankruptcy of Diamond Sports Group in March has resulted in numerous sports teams attempting to void their streaming contracts. 
  • Two Phoenix, Arizona-based teams are making a similar attempt, shaking their traditional local streaming contract with Bally Sports Arizona to seek new opportunities. 
  • Both teams announced on Friday that games will be broadcast on over-the-air local television in Phoenix, Tucson, and Yuma and that free broadcasts will be made available through streaming. 
  • Diamond has argued that the announcement is a breach of contract for the sports teams, while ESPN is warning that the decision could cost tens of millions of dollars in the short term for the teams. 
  • The team owner believes the change will “more than triple the reach” of their audience.
