Elon Musk slams San Francisco for investigating beds for workers at Twitter HQ trends now
Elon Musk has condemned San Francisco's mayor for the city's crime-ridden, drug-overrun state, following a report that Bay Area officials are investigating Twitter for setting up bedrooms at its headquarters.
The assertion, unsurprisingly, came in the form of a tweet from Musk Tuesday, in which the new Twitter CEO claimed the company was being unfairly attacked for 'providing beds for tired employees.'
In particular, Musk, 44, honed in on Mayor London Breed, who has faced criticism for using tax-payer dollars to set up open-air drug markets as a way to tackle the city's ongoing drug crisis.
Earlier in the day, officials seemed to put the kibosh on the $22million largely failed experiment, closing down a prominent den in the Tenderloin District less than a year after it opened to the public.
Hours later, the city announced it was investigating a complaint that Twitter staffers were sleeping in makeshift bedrooms at its San Francisco office, as new owner Musk looks to instill a 'hardcore' culture at the social media company.
Musk in his tweet appeared to confirm the claims - while also taking a shot at the city by citing a recent report about a baby's near death this past week after ingesting fentanyl he found on the ground of a neighborhood playground.

'So city of SF attacks companies providing beds for tired employees instead of making sure kids are safe from fentanyl,' Musk wrote, shortly after the city's Department of Building Inspection said it was investigating a complaint about his company's rumored sleeping arrangements.
He went on to tag Breed specifically, asking the 48-year-old Democrat - who has failed to address rising crime and drug use in the city since assuming office in 2018 - 'Where are your priorities!?'
A spokesman for the department confirmed that the city was probing claims concerning Musk's so-called 'Twitter 2.0,' writing in an email Wednesday: 'We need to make sure the building is being used as intended.'
The rep would then explain that 'there are different building code requirements for residential buildings,' laid out to make sure citizens 'are using spaces safely.'
'No one is above the law,' the city staffer added.
Breed's office did not immediately respond to a DailyMail.com request for comment regarding the investigation.
Officials, meanwhile, said Wednesday that they are currently planning 'a site inspection' of the Twitter offices in the city's Civic Center neighborhood, 'as part of [the] investigation.'
The reports of bedrooms at Twitter's headquarters comes after a product manager at the company shared a photo of her sleeping on the floor of one of the office's meeting rooms.
