According to CNBC sources, the managers in the company have asked its engineers and other employees to work 12 hours a day and 7 days a week in order to meet the tight deadlines set by the 'Chief Twit'. The employees have been further asked for extra work without any 'discussions' about compensatory time, pay for overtime or even job security. Musk has reportedly set an aggressive deadline for early November, while employees failing to meet it might lose their job, the report added.
