Elon Musk sent an email to Twitter Inc employees requiring them to pledge to stay with the company, working long hours at “high intensity” during its transformation, or to accept a buyout.

Staff will have to complete the online form by 5pm New York time on Nov 17 or accept three months severance. For Twitter to succeed, “we will need to be extremely hardcore,” Musk said in the email, which was seen by Bloomberg.
