In his first mail to Twitter employees after taking over as the CEO of the social media giant, Elon Musk asked them to be ready for "difficult times ahead."
He discontinued work from home and said employees will be expected to be in the office at least 40 hours a week, reports Bloomberg News.
Twitter had a remote working model before Musk's takeover after Covid-19 necessitated work form home.
Musk had earlier clarified that he was not in favour of remote work.
He noted that there is "no way to sugarcoat the message" about the bleak economic outlook and its impact on advertisement revenue.
“The road ahead is arduous and will require intense work to succeed,” the email from the new Twitter owner read.
In another mail, he said over the next few days, the "absolute top priority" of the company is "suspending any verified bots/trolls/spam.”
After Musk took over Twitter Inc for $44 billion he brought in a slew of changes, including a subscription programme and a new verification system. He also sacked the company's four top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal and legal executive Vijaya Gadde.
