The conference is the official G-20 dialogue forum and is running\u00a0alongside the G-20 summit in Bali this week.<\/p>\n<p>When asked how he runs\u00a0Tesla\u2019s global operations, Musk said he does so\u00a0\u201cwith great difficulty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have too much work on my plate, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BloombergAsia\/status\/1592001589040279553\">said<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m really working the absolute most that I can work\u2014from morning to night, seven days a week. This is not something I\u2019d recommend, frankly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk\u2019s comments came shortly after he\u00a0declined an offer by the former CEO of T-Mobile,\u00a0John Legere, to \u201crun\u201d Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Legere took to the social media platform on Nov. 13 where he suggested he should run the site so that Musk can \u201cstop managing daily business, and \u2018content moderation\u2019 and then support product\/technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m expensive but so is what you paid for Twitter (p.s. please be leadership example of how to tweet)\u201d Legere wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Musk responded with a simple \u201cNo\u201d before later <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1591842086026113026\">adding<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cTwitter\u00a0at its core is a software &#038; servers company\u201d and the \u201ctechnology needs to evolve rapidly, which requires a technologist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Billionaire Musk, who also runs spaceflight company SpaceX and neurotechnology startup Neuralink, finalized his\u00a0$44 billion deal to purchase Twitter in October.<\/p>\n<h2>Twitter Workers File Lawsuits After Mass Layoffs<\/h2>\n<p>Twitter announced in a company email on Nov. 3 that it would\u00a0start laying off staff members from its\u00a0global workforce of 7,500 employees in an \u201ceffort to place Twitter on a healthy path\u201d as the platform is losing\u00a0over <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1588671155766194176\">$4 million<\/a> a day.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has defended the move, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1588671155766194176\">said<\/a> on Twitter that, \u201cEveryone [who] exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50 percent more than legally required.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the company has since been sued by\u00a0multiple staff members over an alleged violation of\u00a0federal law, with workers claiming they were not given enough notice regarding the layoffs and failed to receive their\u00a0severance benefits\u00a0when Musk laid off Twitter\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n<p>That includes two months of severance pay, bonus plan compensation, cash convertible company stock, and health insurance coverage,\u00a0according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/laid-off-twitter-employees-sue-musk-over-severance-pay_4858237.html\">court documents<\/a> seen by The Epoch Times.\u00a0Twitter later informed the former employees that they would now only receive one month\u2019s base pay after their termination, the documents state.<\/p>\n<p>Musk previously\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/elon-musk-says-new-york-times-report-on-avoiding-payouts-to-twitter-employees-is-false_4830863.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">denied<\/a>\u00a0a report by\u00a0The New York Times in October that he planned to lay off some Twitter employees\u00a0before Nov. 1,\u00a0when employees were scheduled to receive stock grants as part of their compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Musk also fired\u00a0Twitter\u00a0CEO Parag Agrawal and\u00a0Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, as well as\u00a0legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde after taking over the social media platform.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Twitter employees were also ordered to return to the office after Musk banned remote work.<\/p>\n<div
