Musk memo to Tesla staff: return to office or leave company
14 Sept 02:27Key points summarised by AI
Elon Musk has mandated that Tesla employees must return to the office for a minimum of 40 hours per week, with non-compliance resulting in departure from the company.
This strict return-to-office policy by Tesla stands in contrast to other major tech companies, such as Twitter, which continue to offer flexible or permanent remote work options to their staff.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
