Elon Musk told several people whom he was sleeping at Government Department of Effectiveness (DOGE) Set in Washington, DC, Wired learned, while working in exercise control on the federal government. DOGE is based in the Eisenhower executive building, a few steps from the White House.
During an exclusive black tie dinner organized by the Luzerne club last week, Musk told the associates that he had even been invited to spend the night at the White House herself in Lincoln’s room.
The news shows how much Musk has been deeply rooted in the orbit of President Donald Trump – and how much he follows his proven game book by Tesla and Twitter (now X).
During the periods busy in Tesla, Musk was known to sleep in the factory’s ground. “It was my main residence,” he said during an interview With Ron Baron in 2022. He said that this decision was strategic because he wanted employees to see it. “It is important because if the team thinks that its leader left somewhere by having a good time, drinking May on a tropical island, which I could certainly have done … since the team could see me Sleeping on the ground during the shift change, they knew I was there, and it made a huge difference, they gave everything. »»
The vision of a drummering leader on a tropical island resurfaced after Musk became the largest Twitter shareholder in the spring of 2022. In text messages to his friend, the Podcastor and Providential Investor Jason Calacanis, Musk said that The newly appointed CEO of Twitter, Parag Agrawal, was on a 10 -day vacation in Hawaii. At the time, Musk had played with the idea of joining the board of directors of Twitter, but was increasingly frustrated by Agrawal. He doubted that the two could work together.
“BTW, Parag is still on a ten -day vacation in Hawaii,” Musk told Calacanis. “No reason to cut it short … during your first tour as CEO (!!!),” replied Calcanis, probably with a hint of sarcasm. “Shouldn’t he be in a war room right now?!?” Musk then said: “Do you make occasional zoom calls while drinking fruity cocktails with the four seasons?” (Messages were Later revealed As part of the discovery process in a trial between musk and twitter).
In the end, Musk decided that he could not save Twitter with Agrawal at the helm, and he bought the company instead.
Once the acquisition is finished, Musk started sleeping in Twitter offices in San Francisco. The employees saw him fix the ground late at night and be escorted in the toilet by his security guards. He even tried to install a bathroom next to his office so that he did not have to walk on the ground during his stays.
Lieutenant de Musk, Steve Davis, CEO of Boring Company, who has would have recruited The staff to work at DOGE, also temporarily moved into the siege of Twitter with his wife and his newborn.
Earlier this week, the American office of staff management, which is already stacked with musk lackeys, sent an email To federal workers entitled “A fork on the road”.
“Federal workforce should be made up of reliable, loyal, trustworthy employees who aim for excellence in their daily work,” said the email. He ordered employees to return to the office five days a week, and to engage in a culture of excellence, or to resign effectively and to continue to receive services and to pay until September.
The memo echoes a musk ticket sent to Twitter staff shortly after the company’s purchase. In this note, sent on November 16, 2022, Musk told staff that they should commit to working for a long time and intense to achieve their new vision for the company – otherwise they should resign. “In the future, to build a Twitter 2.0 breakthrough and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will have to be extremely hardcore,” he wrote. “It will mean working for long hours at high intensity. Only the exceptional performance will constitute a passing note. »»
