#4It seems that Musk at this point is completely unaware that he is a walking contradiction.
On one hand, he is a technologist. Forward thinking and driving towards the future.
On the other hand, he is an old fashioned factory owner. He views his workforce as pure labour and can't accept that he can't force his employees to work under his total control. He also can't accept the gain in life capital for his employees in working from home for his workforce and that the future of work for humanity is probably decentralised offices and WFH, not middle managed, over the shoulder, supervised, centralised offices.

Cutting edge technologist for the investors, old school factory owner for managing people. Makes perfect sense if you're trying to extract the max amount of money.

True, but the fact that technology is going to reinvent everything, including work seems to be an oversight. I'm not sure an old school factory owner is going to attract the best people in a highly skilled industry

The cheapest way to downsize is to have employees quit of their own accord. Removing benefits like WFH incentives this.

So do you think he'll eventually bring back WFH for Tesla and Twitter when they want to increase headcount?

It also leads to more mistakes and cutting corners (usually hidden), so in the long term as they accumulate this will bite him in the ass when a particularly bad one gets out in the wild unnoticed.
And I thought this guy had a high IQ, clearly he's not that bright after all.

Twitter doesn't need "best people" - it's not innovating and hasn't been for a very long time.
