Twitter under investigation: Illegal rooms at headquarters

Twitter is under investigation for illegally converting some offices at its headquarters into bedrooms to encourage its employees to stay at work.

Starting Monday, the “San Francisco Chronicle” reported that the city of San Francisco received a complaint that curtains and bedding had been added to some rooms at Twitter’s headquarters.

Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter and laid off half of the platform’s 7,500 employees, many of them have publicly reported sleeping on the job to keep up with the workload.

Where Rub means, the company did not ask for permission to use its neighborhood for residential purposes.

“We want to make sure buildings are used as intended. There are different construction requirements for residential buildings, including those used for short-term stays,” said Patrick Hannon, a spokesman for the Department of Building Inspection.

For his part, the CEO criticized the city of San Francisco’s investigation on Twitter, inviting it to focus on the fentanyl crisis instead.

“So the city of SF is attacking companies that provide beds for tired employees instead of making sure kids are safe from fentanyl. Where are your priorities @LondonBreed!?” Elon Musk tweeted, adding a story about a 10-month-old baby who overdosed after being exposed on a playground.
