Elon Musk has continued his “hardcore” takeover of Twitter by reportedly converting several rooms at company headquarters into bedrooms for engineers to sleep in.
Twitter employees discovered on Monday that Musk had converted several conference rooms into sleeping quarters, according to Forbes. The sudden installation of curtains and mattresses was unannounced, and it appears to reinforce Musk’s vision of employees putting in excess hours to fulfill his new vision for the company.
“It’s not a good look,” one employee said. “It’s yet another unspoken sign of disrespect. There is no discussion. Just like, beds showed up.” Another employee noted that the beds were mostly installed on an empty floor, although there was evidence that it had been used.

It is unclear how many of these bedrooms have been installed.
Musk has been working to rebuild Twitter in his vision after laying off 50% of the staff, leaving him with an estimated 3,700 employees at the company. He then forced the remaining staff to commit to a “hardcore” version of Twitter or resign with three months of pay. This requirement led to more than 1,000 staff resigning from their posts.
Several ex-employees have now filed lawsuits against Musk, claiming that the billionaire failed to provide them sufficient severance for their time.

The billionaire also spent the weekend releasing what he touted as the Twitter Files, a series of documents elaborating on Twitter’s role in the censorship of the New York Post’s story regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop. The files, which were provided to the journalist Matt Taibbi, included evidence that President Joe Biden’s campaign and the Biden administration had sent Twitter requests to pull down tweets. The campaign specifically requested that tweets containing explicit photos of Hunter Biden be taken down.
