Elon 'Back to the Office' Musk Called in Remotely to First X All-Hands (gizmodo.com)

The billionaire owner and CEO Linda Yaccarino dialed in from out of town, vaguely touting new features that will roll out in the coming months.

There is very little surprising about Elon Musk’s methods of running X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, seemingly into the ground. A year after Musk officially took over the platform, both he and recently installed X CEO Linda Yaccarino held a joint all-hands Thursday to address some of the changes at the company and suggested that X might be a new financial platform.

Neither Musk himself nor Yaccarino showed up, according to a report from Fortune Thursday. The two executives dialed in remotely from Austin and New York City, respectively, citing an anonymous source within the company. Musk and Yaccarino skipping out on an in-person appearance during the all-hands comes after the former demanded employees return to office 40 hours per week last November, according to Insider, in one of his first sweeping changes as owner.

I would agree, but seeing as tho Musk's entire fortune is built on his image, anything that can damage it is good for humanity, and let's be honest he is paying for the shit ton of "Musk the myth, the Legend" articles, so why not boost the ones calling him out?

I agree with you, but Musk operates on the “any publicity is good publicity” strategy. He doesn't care if it's good news or bad news.

Also we've had heaps of bad news about Musk and yet the cycle continues even after he has been called out countless times. In reality, articles like this that wouldn't even make the news for another company have one effect - they keep Musk and his businesses in the 24 hour news cycle.

considering how much effort Musk puts into trying to get rid of/bury bad press, I would have to disagree with you
