Interestedly, Crawford retweeted the image and said, “When your team is pushing round the clock to make deadlines sometimes you #SleepWhereYouWork". Now, netizens are divided.
Some are calling it a side-effect of the take-over by Musk, known as a hard taskmaster. Some others do not see anything wrong with it as many employees have to pull an all-nighter at some point. One of them compared it with army training.

“This honestly doesn't seem oppressive to me. I've slept on concrete before in the Army knowing I wouldn't be going home to my family the following night(s) either," wrote the user.
“I fondly remember pulling all nighters with my team in the early days. It created such strong bonds and memories. It’s exhilarating to be part of something meaningful that takes every inch of you to achieve," wrote another user.

One user puts it this way: “I think it’s safe to say 90% of working adults have pulled all nighters at some point, so don’t think there is anything special about it. The point is about pulling all nighters voluntarily (because of passion / motivation) vs involuntarily (Elon making them do it) (sic)".
When Bo Ren, Director of Early Stage Startups, asked: “Elon has you guys pulling all-nighters already?", a Twitter user replied that it was not mandatary, rather optional.
Then, it was Crawford who came up with some clarification. “Since some people are losing their minds I'll explain: doing hard things requires sacrifice (time, energy, etc). I have teammates around the world who are putting in the effort to bring something new to life so it's important to me to show up for them & keep the team unblocked," she wrote.
