Musk to Twitter staff — “A Fork in the Road”
The ultimatum email: commit to an “extremely hardcore” Twitter 2.0 by clicking yes, or take three months' severance.
Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade. […] If you are sure that you want to be part of the new Twitter, please click yes on the link below. […] Anyone who has not done so by 5pm ET tomorrow (Thursday) will receive three months of severance.
Whatever decision you make, thank you for your efforts to make Twitter successful.
Elon
