New Twitter owner Elon Musk has told employees at the social media network that they will not be allowed to work remotely, and to prepare for “difficult times ahead”, according to a media report.

In his first email to Twitter staff since completing his $44bn takeover close to two weeks ago, the world’s richest man said workers would be expected to be present in the office for at least 40 hours per week, according to Bloomberg News. He said he would only approve remote work on a case-by-case basis.
