Elon Musk, the owner of X, formerly Twitter, manages the social media platform from his iPhone. He prefers staff to send emails that are easy to read on his phone, according to the Financial Times. Musk requires emails to follow a specific format, which means no attachments, documents, or spreadsheets; instead, he prefers all information to be in the email’s body.
Elon Musk, who leads four other companies alongside X (Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, and Neuralink), is known for his demanding leadership style and high expectations of his employees. To aid X in its transition after Musk acquired the company for $44 billion in October 2022, he brought in several executives from Tesla and The Boring Company who are part of his close-knit team.

Moreover, a former employee shared, via Financial Times, that Elon Musk values individuals who are effective at executing tasks without questioning orders rather than those with strong opinions.
