Elon Musk’s order that Tesla workers return to the office has sparked a Twitter spat with Australian billionaire Scott Farquhar, after the Atlassian CEO suggested he would be happy to poach Musk’s staff for remote working positions., headlined “Remote work is no longer acceptble” [sic], the Tesla CEO wrote that “anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum of 40 hours a week or depart Tesla. This is less than we ask of factory workers”.
“This is the future of how we will work. Highly distributed, highly flexible. Yes, right now it’s not perfect, but we have to experiment to get it right,” he tweeted. Farquhar did not reply to Musk or the legions of reply guys who follow the billionaire’s every tweet, but he later tweeted “hard to believe it’s been 20 years since we started Atlassian , but we’re just getting started!”now has a banner that reads: “Welcome Tesla friends, we’re Atlassian and we work from anywhere. Apply now.”
