People who can work remotely are in a privileged position compared to those whose work cannot be done from home, businessman Elon Musk said in an interview with CNBC.
“It’s not just a matter of performance. I think it’s wrong from a moral point of view, ”he emphasized, noting that representatives of many professions cannot work from home in principle. In particular, he cited the example of food delivery workers and workers who renovate houses. “Does this seem morally right? What the hell is that, ”Musk believes.
The businessman also called Silicon Valley IT people “the laptop owner class living in La La Land.” “People should fucking stop being arrogant and get on with this work-from-home crap,” the billionaire added.
Recall that in November 2022, Musk canceled remote work at Twitter, obliging all employees to be in the office 40 hours a week or receive his personal approval for absence from the workplace. He extended a similar requirement to employees of his Tesla company. In a letter to workers quoted by Bloomberg, he wrote that the requirement to spend 40 hours a week in the office is less than the company requires from employees who work at the plant.
