Elon Musk emailed Twitter employees telling them he was available to discuss urgent product needs, per reports.

The Twitter CEO told workers he was finished with most of his Tesla work for the weekend and free to discuss Twitter product needs, Platformer's Zoë Schiffer tweeted on Wednesday.

Per Schiffer, Musk said in the email: "We are going to agonize until we achieve as close to the perfect product as possible."

He told Twitter employees to focus the meetings on "urgent product decision matters, engineering progress, and legal, finance and HR," Schiffer also tweeted.

All of Twitter's product changes have to be personally signed off by Musk, per Schiffer.

Musk has overseen a series of product changes since he bought the platform in October.

He has overhauled Twitter's subscription service to allow users to pay for Twitter's verified blue ticks and introduced view counts for tweets. The view count feature has been somewhat controversial with users, with some complaining the new count looked messy.

Musk has introduced an "extremely hardcore" working culture at Twitter, following his takeover. In November, he told employees to be prepared to work long hours at a high intensity if they committed to staying at Twitter 2.0.

Musk said those unwilling to commit to that new working culture would be laid off with three months' severance.

Representatives for Twitter did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment made outside normal working hours.
