CEO Elon Musk demanded that Tesla employees must return to the office for in-person work at least 40 hours per week or they’ll be let go.

News of the policy was disclosed in a series of leaked emails Musk sent on Tuesday, according to electric car news site, Electrek.

“Anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean *minimum*) of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla. This is less than we ask of factory workers,” Musk wrote.
