▍原文
Tesla boss Elon Musk has ordered staff to return to the office full-time, declaring that working remotely is no longer acceptable.
"Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week," he wrote in one of the emails. "If you don't show up, we will assume you have resigned."
Mr Musk said working in the office full-time was what the company asks of its factory employees and in-person collaboration was critical to the firm's success.

▍复述文本
Elon Musk has ordered staff to return to the office full-time. And he said he didn’t allow anyone to work from home.
He wrote in one of the emails, “Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week. If you don't show up, we will assume you have resigned.”
This may sound a little patronising, but after all, he’s the boss. And then he went on, working in the office full-time was what the company asks of its factory employees and in-person collaboration was critical to the firm's success. Well, wish him luck.
