Elon Musk hits San Fran mayor with reality check over city investigation into his decision to put bedrooms in Twitter HQ

The city of San Francisco is reportedly investigating Elon Musk for converting some office space inside Twitter's headquarters into sleeping quarters for employees.

What is the background?

When Twitter employees returned to work on Monday, they discovered that several conference rooms inside the company's headquarters had been made over as bedrooms.

Forbes reported:

A photo of one converted bedroom shared with Forbes showed bright orange carpeting, a wooden bedside table and what appears to be a queen bed, replete with a table lamp and two office armchairs just begging for convivial workplace collaboration.

One source said that no announcement or context was provided to employees, and presumed that the beds are for remaining “hardcore” staffers to be able to stay overnight at the office.

What is happening now?

San Francisco's Department of Building Inspection is investigating Musk and Twitter for potentially violating city building codes by using space designated for work as living areas, according to Forbes.

The investigation was initiated after someone filed an official complaint with the city.

"We need to make sure the building is being used as intended," Patrick Hannan, a spokesman for the department, said in a statement. "There are different building code requirements for residential buildings, including those being used for short-term stays. These codes make sure people are using spaces safely."

"No one is above the law," he declared.

Democrats use any and all means to attack enemies.

Building codes? Sure. They’ll enforce that when drug attacks loot and pillage stores.

Also, fire whoever took the picture.

Such bedrooms are really just ice cream storage and hammers storage spaces. Oh, and unauthorized servers with state department access. So it’s not a problem.

None of government’s business, but government employee wouldn’t know. They never did an honest day’s work. Quite simply, if you are a lazy ass government employee, then you are an enemy to America.

Knew an old man in my younger years who was an engineer at LTV. He would pull 72 hour shifts and take naps on a cot. They have showers and full kitchens and TV rooms, all the amenities. San Fran is lost to commies.

If you’re an employee who’s just worked an 18 hour shift, speaking as the spouse of someone who used to do that all too frequently, I wish there had been something like that for hubby to use rather than get a room at his expense because he was too tired to drive home. We could afford it. A lot of employees can’t.

Really; any indication that employees are locked in and cannot leave, for instance?

This is so easy.
Just move Twitter to Texas. Its not that hard , after moving most of Tesla and SpaceX to Texas already. Plus it will reduce costs drastically and increase efficiency.

Oh, they’re all concerned with converted office space make into a few bedrooms?

But in places like LA County and SF, their are thousands of illegal aliens living in garages, etc...

What a bunch of evil stinking liars.

When I worked at Boeing I knew an old timer than had an inside parking pass and he lived in his vehicle. Security never messed with him.
Had his parking space and his dog. Virtually always knew where to find him if they needed him.
I know of other companies Genetech comes to mind, where employees live in RV’s in the parking lot and only go home on weekends.
