Tech billionaire Elon Musk has taken the work-from-home phenomenon into his crosshairs, telling Tesla executives to get back to the office or get out, according to a leaked email whose authenticity he seemed to confirm in a tweet.

“Remote work is no longer acceptble” [sic], reads the subject line of the leaked May 31 email, which was shared by the @WholeMarsBlog Twitter account and which bears Musk’s name in the “from” field and is addressed to Tesla “ExecStaff.”
