I dont think "hardcore" is even what normal people would call hardcore; probably more of a "work an actual job" than anything. Over the years, theres been tons of videos/posts of twitter employees showing their typical day. Show up late, eat breakfast, maybe jump on a call, head to lunch, do some meditating or something, maybe jump on another call, grab a coffee, do a little work, and then peace out. Seems more like a casual work retreat than an actual job.
Even on most of the job/company websites, they report a majority of employees work 40hrs or less per week. and when you see the reports from current/former employees talking about how much work they actually do in a day, you can understand why he would want them to be more "hardcore" and why a lot of people are upset.
The difference between Musk coming in and getting rid of slackers and underperformers, and what happens in other companies when they get bought out or a new boss comes in, is he is doing it much more publicly, to a much more public company, whose employees know how to get the most exposure from it. Add in Musk seems to be the current enemy of a lot of the regular media, and it seems to be getting way blown out of proportion.
