No hes just an old school type of manager he expects 8 hours of work for 8 hours of pay and he expects people to be in the office where the work is getting done. I get the work from home argument because I work from home but right now Twitter is in a transition and when hes taking control he needs to understand how things work and for that to happen he needs everybody to be in the office.
Also, especially during a transition period, as you said, he needs everyone there.
Remote working is also complicated when you are required to maintain operational security for your job. You need to be able to be responsible, understand how to secure (and secure) your internet, maintain good home security, only use your work PC for work (no porn, very hard for the Twitter starlets, I know) and otherwise ensure that no one will ever access information that is critical.
Work from home is both a productivity enhancer and a productive reducer, sometimes simultaneously. It's extremely easy to get distracted at home, and diverge from your work to do something else. It's also extremely easy to spoof any monitoring software like Teams by using a mouse jiggler and checking back every so often.
But at home you can also work longer hours and get extra work done overnight (even if you're not getting OT for it) and prepare for your next work day.
Different jobs gain and lose different things but when you're in a transitional period due to a change in ownership, you're 100% going back to the office.
It's not just about work or productivity but also morale.
Think about Space X. That is company full of engineers who are 100% dedicated to the job and to the success of the business. Twitter isn't that but it is Elons plan to get it there. If there are 500-1000 employees who just want paychecks, you don't work there anymore. He wants to make Twitter the social media Space X. He is doing exactly what I would do in his position. Well except for firing that one dude...
