Elon Musk, new Chief Executive Officer of Twitter has told the workers that they must be prepared to work “long hours at high intensity” or leave the company.

The America’s richest billionaire reportedly told his workers on Wednesday in an email that they should pledge if they wanted to stay.

The Washington Post reported that those who do not sign up by Thursday (today) will be given three months’ compensation pay.

“This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade,” he said.

In the email entitled, ‘A Fork in the Road’, Musk said, “Those who choose to stay should expect long, intense hours of work. Those who leave will receive three months’ severance pay.”

Workers were told that they needed to click on a link by 17:00 EST on Thursday if they want to be “part of the new Twitter”.

He added, “Whatever decision you make, thank you for your efforts to make Twitter successful.”
