Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has told employees they can no longer work from home, warning they must return to the office or leave the company, according to an email sent to employees and seen by the Reuters news agency.
Two sources confirmed the authenticity of the email, but Tesla did not respond to a request for comment. "There are of course companies that don't require this, but when was the last time they shipped a great new product? It's been a while," Mr Musk wrote in his email to staff. "If there's a mass exodus, how would Tesla finish projects? I don't think investors would be happy about that," one Tesla employee wrote.A California-based workers advocacy group slammed Mr Musk's return-to-office plan.
In May 2020, Mr Musk reopened a Tesla factory in Fremont, California, defying Alameda County's lockdown measures to curb the spread of COVID-19. Mr Musk has previously played down the risks of COVID-19, saying "the coronavirus panic is dumb" and children are "essentially immune". He later got COVID-19 twice.M Musk last month said "American people are trying to avoid going to work at all", whereas Chinese workers "won't even leave the factory type of thing".
