Digital Desk: After his call to either be "extremely hardcore" at work or quit, Elon Musk has converted rooms at Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco into small bedrooms, featuring unmade mattresses, drab curtains, and massive work monitors, according to media reports.

According to Forbes, the beds are prepared for the remaining "hardcore" employees to spend overnight at the workplace.

As staff came to the office on Monday, they found several rooms in the office being turned into "little sleeping quarters," the report mentioned, citing sources.

The bedrooms include "bright orange carpeting, a wooden bedside table, and what appears to be a queen bed, along with a table lamp and two office recliners just calling for convivial workplace collaboration."

Employees were shocked and surprised by the move, as it was not earlier announced by Musk or the company.

"It's not pleasant. Another tacit expression of disrespect, I guess. There isn't a conversation. Just like, beds appeared," a source was quoted as saying in the report.

Sources told Forbes that there were "four to eight such chambers per floor" at the Twitter headquarters.

Musk issued an ultimatum to staff last month, demanding that they perform "very rigorous" work or leave the microblogging site.

"Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore," Musk wrote in an internal memo too employees.

"This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade," he said.

Following Musk's takeover of Twitter, there were reports of staff sleeping on the workplace floor.

Musk earlier stated that he has worked up to 120 hours a week and slept on the floor at a Tesla factory.
