The mayor of San Francisco issued a warning that it might take enforcement action against Elon Musk's most recent scheme to prevent his $44 billion investment in Twitter from possibly going bankrupt.
The serial entrepreneur, who is currently running five different businesses, acknowledged on Tuesday that he had moved mattresses into the social network company's headquarters after city officials announced they would be conducting an inspection.
Musk initially claimed he was aiding personnel in their recovery before he appeared to avoid the conversation by attempting to reframe it around the tech hub's failure to handle an ongoing drug epidemic.
He then questioned the mayor's agenda, writing, "So city of SF fights companies providing beds for tired staff instead of ensuring kids are protected from fentanyl."
"London Breed, where are your priorities?"
Musk has gone to great measures to save the failing business that he loaded with a $13 billion debt load to finance the transaction.
According to varying estimates, he may have fired between two-thirds and three-fourths of the company's former 7,500 employees and required the surviving staff to put in "extreme hard-core" effort to keep it from failing.
