Is he willing to pay for those extra hours?

Many companies promote a work culture where heroic employees are supposed do long hours for free just because good employees are passionate about their job. That's just exploitation.

Surely the grand objective of, as he puts it:

build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world

means it's just as much worth it for him to pay overtime and/or hire more people as it is for others to "work long hours at high intensity"

Unless, of course, he was bullshitting and being an hypocrite.

Shouldn't it be an X 2.0? Did he just deadname his own company?

Musk said that in 2022 before he renamed Twitter.
