Elon Musk doesn’t think the remote work culture is good for productivity. The Tesla CEO didn’t mince his words about employees working from the comfort of their homes, calling them out for “living in la-la land.” He also thinks it sends the wrong message to the on-site workers.
The Tesla CEO finds it off-putting and not something he wants to become a firm working arrangement. As a strong proponent of return-to-office policies, Musk told his employees to spend at least 40 working hours in the office. He also addressed Tesla’s shareholders’ meeting, providing updates and inspiration about the company’s future.

For the employees who’ve gotten used to working from home in their sweatpants, Elon Musk has some strong criticism. The Tesla CEO believes these employees are low on productivity, making no headway in their work. According to Musk, it’s also a moral disservice to the factory workers and employees without that option.
Elon Musk said in a CNBC interview, ” People building the cars, servicing the cars, building houses, fixing houses, making the food, making all the things that people consume. It’s messed up to assume that, yes, they have to go to work, but you don’t. It’s not just a productivity thing, I think it’s morally wrong.”
