Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The BBC has been given photos of Twitter office space that has been converted into bedrooms, which San Francisco authorities are probing as a possible building code violation.<\/p>\n

One image shows a room with a double bed, including a wardrobe and slippers.<\/p>\n

An ex-worker said new Twitter boss Elon Musk has been staying at the headquarters since he bought the firm.<\/p>\n

He last month emailed all Twitter staff saying they “will need to be extremely hardcore” to succeed.<\/p>\n

San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspection has confirmed it is investigating potential violations following a complaint.<\/p>\n

Musk said the city was attacking companies for providing beds to “tired employees”.<\/p>\n

In a now-deleted tweet, Musk posted that he would work and sleep in the office “until the org is fixed”.<\/p>\n

The BBC has also been given pictures of sofas at Twitter being used as beds.<\/p>\n

Another conference room has an alarm clock, and a picture placed over a made-up bed.<\/p>\n

“It looks like a hotel room,” said one former worker. They went on to say that Mr Musk regularly sleeps at the Twitter HQ in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the BBC.<\/p>\n

Last month Mr Musk – who completed his Twitter takeover in October – emailed all staff at the company saying they would need to work “long hours at high intensity”.<\/p>\n

“Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

California state senator Scott Wiener told the BBC on Wednesday: “He’s now making them [workers] sleep at Twitter.<\/p>\n

“It’s clear that he doesn’t really care about people. He doesn’t care about the people who work for him.”<\/p>\n

A Department of Building Inspection official told the BBC’s US partner CBS News: ‘We need to make sure the building is being used as intended.”<\/p>\n

In a reply to a journalist on Twitter, Mr Musk posted that the city should prioritise protecting children from the consequences of opioid drug misuse.<\/p>\n

Forbes broke the story of “sad little conference-room sleeping quarters at the company’s recently depopulated headquarters”, noting it was an apparent improvement on the improvised sleeping-bag-on-the-floor arrangement posted on Twitter by one employee.<\/p>\n

The bedrooms, Bloomberg reported, are also said to accommodate staff from Tesla and other Musk-owned businesses brought in to work at Twitter, “some of whom travel to Twitter for work meetings”, sources told the publication.<\/p>\n

Department of Building Inspection official Patrick Hannan told the San Francisco Chronicle it investigated all complaints and there were different rules for residential buildings, even those used for short-term stays.<\/p>\n

In May 2020, before Mr Musk’s takeover, Twitter told employees they could work from home “forever” if they so wished because its remote-working measures during Covid lockdowns had been a success.<\/p>\n
