The complaintfiled by six erstwhile Twitter workersaccuses Musk of transformingthe companys headquarters into a so-called Twitter Hotel without the proper permitting.

The allegations stem from the period directly after Musk acquired the social media giant and laid off more than half the company, while encouraging the remaining employees to be extremely hardcore and spend all of their time at the office.

This is not the first time local officials have scrutinized Musks decision to set up de facto bedrooms in a commercial building. Musk responded to earlier inquiries by accusing San Francisco of prioritizing the wrong issues.

San Franciscos DBI was not immediately available to confirm the AP report, while the Twitter communications department responded to an email inquiry with a poop emoji.
