Elon Musk tells Tesla staff to return to the office or leave company.
Here is the email Elon Musk sent To: ExecStaff with the Subject: Remote work is no longer acceptable.
Anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean *minimum*) of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla. This is less than we ask of factory workers.
If there are particularly exceptional contributors for whom this is impossible, I will review and approve those exceptions directly.
Moreover, the “office” must be a main Tesla office, not a remote branch office unrelated to the job duties, for example being responsible for Fremont factory human relations, but having your office be in another state.
It is difficult to predict with certainty what the future of work will look like after the COVID-19 pandemic. Many companies have implemented remote work policies in response to the pandemic, and it is likely that some companies will continue to offer remote work options even after the pandemic ends. However, it is also likely that some companies will bring employees back into the office as the pandemic subsides and vaccine rollout becomes more widespread.
There are a number of factors that will influence whether and how quickly employees return to the office after the COVID-19 pandemic. These include:
- Company policies: It will be up to individual companies to decide whether and how to bring employees back into the office. Some companies may choose to continue offering remote work options, while others may require employees to return to the office on a full-time or partial basis.
- Employee preferences: Some employees may prefer to continue working remotely even after the pandemic ends, while others may prefer to return to the office. Companies will need to consider the preferences of their employees when deciding how to structure their work environments.
- Public health considerations: The return to the office will also be influenced by public health considerations and guidelines, such as social distancing measures and mask-wearing requirements.
Overall, it is likely that the future of work after the COVID-19 pandemic will involve a mix of remote work and in-office work, with companies adopting hybrid models that allow for flexibility and adaptability.

Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of forty hours in the office per week. Moreover, the office must be where your actual colleagues are located, not some remote pseudo-office.
If you don’t show up, we will assume you have resigned.
The more senior you are, the more visible must be your presence. That is why I lived in the factory so much- so that those on the line could see me working alongside them. If I had not done that, Tesla would long ago have gone bankrupt.
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.
Tesla has and will create and actually manufacture the most exciting and meaningful products of any company on Earth. This will not happen by phoning it in.
Thanks,
Elon
